Church and Squirrels
My daughter had a friend over and I did what normally do which is scare children. I burst into my daughters bedroom and yelled, “SQUIRRELS”, after the girl jumped I pointed at her and laughed and said, “You’re afraid of squirrels”. As I was taking them to a party we passed a church and I yelled, “CHURCH”, after she jumped I said, “You’re afraid of church”. A few minutes later I asked her “Why are you afraid of squirrels and church, what’s the connection?” She laughed and said, “”I don’t know”. All of the sudden it dawned on me and I said, “I know what they have in common.” my daughter said, “What?”, I said, “Nuts!”

Cute story. Has it occurred to you that your offspring isn’t afraid of squirrels or churches? Perhaps she was simply startled by a father’s sudden violent expression.

Actually it was my eldest daughter’s friend who is afraid of Church and Squirels. It’s getting harder to startle my own girls anymore. I do it so often they are becoming immune to my scaring them. Which is great because my eldest girl was a screamer, now she just catches her breath if I startle her.
It’s something fun that we all do around the house, me more than them. But it’s funny when one of them comes to me and says the other is afraid of Q-Tips.
