Things my children are scared of

Brother:

The electric train set.

The end of the They Might Be Giants' song, Violin.

Crinkly paper bags.

Kids screaming, happy or otherwise.

The vacuum.

Sister:

The stools shaped like teeth at The Science Factory: They don't have eyes, Mama! That's why they're scary! Yes, I tried explaining that teeth aren't supposed to have eyes, to no avail.

The hallway.

The washing machine- Still!

The vacuum.

And so on and so forth. They are a couple of wackadoos, god love 'em!
