3 Phobias

I have only three fears in my life all rooted in childhood, Ghosts, Pirates and Dentists.

In fact if I ever bumped into the ghost of a pirate dentist, I’d probably kark it.

As a small boy I used to stay awake imagining spooks in my bed. My mum would hear my shivers and come into my room late at night to reassure me. “There’s no such thing as ghosts” she’d softly say. I used to berate her, “go away mum, you’ve been dead 4 years!”

Dentists too, do you remember the school one? A distant descendant of Marquis De Sade. When informed I had a cavity, he tried to cheer me up “You can have a choice of filling” He offered, I asked for cheese and pickle.

Finally pirates, sailing the seven seas with one arm, one leg and one eye. They’d plague my dreams with their hooks and stumps. Flying a skull and crossbones, when it really should have been a disabled badge.

So there’s the 3. I’ve no doubt I will develop more as life runs on. I leave you with one that I think I’ve just caught, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - The fear of long words.
