week #3- Fear

As a young child there were several things that scared me. The dark, monsters, spiders, jurrasic park, etc. But, out of all of these things that frightened me, they will never compare to the one thing that scares me the most. To this day I am still scared of scorpions. It started when i was little and went to Arizona to visit my Aunt and Uncle. Scorpions are everywhere there. Every time i even thought i saw one out of the corner of my eye I would scream and cry. I cant even look at pictures of scorpions without being scared. I dont know what exactly it is about them that scares me so much but I cant figure out how any one can actually like them or want one as a pet. They arent cute, or soft, they dont do tricks, they dont make any cute noises, and if you make them mad....they can stab you with their nasty little butt tail pokey thing. This doesnt sound like my idea of a "good pet" at all.
