Gifted Parenting - Parenting a Gifted Child

 
Chronicling my journey as the mother of a gifted child.

Creepy Crawlers

May 22nd 2008 01:59
Spiders, roaches, lizards, worms, any insect or small creature that crawls scares the heck out of me. Cockroaches especially, whenever I see one I literally run away shrieking. I don't know where this fear of mine stemmed from but I know it started when I was around 5. I recall one of my brothers pretending to give me a small bag as a gift and when I opened it there were roaches inside. I was so frightened that I ran away, slipped and hit my head hard on the floor. Hmmm, maybe that's where my fear came from - bro and I have to have a long-needed talk


Anyway, my daughter on the other hand is interested in creepy crawlers. Whenever she sees one she will stare at it and even touch it. Here's a photo of a gecko she saw in our backyard.

It's a good thing her dad isn't afraid of creepy crawlers. What insect or small animal are you afraid of?

geckos are awesome!

I find snails soothing to watch... they just take their time, gliding along a trail of mucous...
