Day 10: Something You're Afraid of

Squirrels.

I HATE squirrels.

It all goes back to when I was a first grader. On Sundays, we would all go to church, come home, and have lunch (PB&J, yum!). Well, one Sunday, I was the first one into the house. I opened the garage door into the living room, and started to walk toward the kitchen.

That's when I saw IT!

Off of the living room, there is a sliding glass door, with a screen door behind it, leading to the porch. Hanging on to the screen door and peering in to the living room was a grey, furry squirrel. Just staring at me.

I'm pretty sure I started crying when I saw it. I'm also pretty sure that my mom was not happy either. Turns out, the squirrels were chewing through the screens of the porch to try to get the bird food we stored there. The little bugger came on the porch 3 more times after that before my dad finally had to buy a trap to trap it. Then, he drove it up the Parkway and released it in the marshlands so it would NEVER come back.

I'm not deathly afraid anymore, but I still get a bit of the heebie jeebies when I see those suckers. Especially the ones in Central Park that are waaaay too friendly and come too close to you!
