What were you afraid of when you were younger that seems silly to you now?

I still remembered... i was bathing.. enjoying my bath in the afternoon.. the bathroom was quite dim.. i was a bit surprise when i saw something moving up from the bathroom hole.. I dismissed it at first because i thought it was just my imagination.. But then, it started to go up closer, and closer.. and i was almost very scared that it'll come to my feet.. My mom had said it was poisonous or can caused harm.. panicked, i quickly got out of the bathroom.. imagine, i was naked! And my nanny came, switched on the lights.. and just using a slipper, stamped on the centipede.. within minutes, it's dead!! But the truth was, i was still shaken..

From that day, i had to switch on the lights no matter its in the evening, morning or whatever time it was.. My mom just annoyed with my habit as she said its a waste of energy.. But then, mom, it's childhood horror!! possibly she won't understand, cause she wasn't there.

Thinking back, i don't think it mattered now.. i've just overcome this horror in my brain.. but the habit on switching the light remains. Guess every trauma leaves a scar.. I can easily stamp a crockroach or whatever insects with my feet now... haha, last time i was small, now i'm big.. so beware!

-.- lol, it was certainly something worth remembering!
