Sarah’s scary things

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I like interviewing my children.

Awhile back we were all in the car and I asked Sarah to give me a list of things of which she was afraid. I wanted to jot it down before it got lost forever.

Sarah said she is afraid of:

  • needles
  • the dark
  • the dentist
  • eels in the toilet
  • black widow spiders
  • monsters
  • strangers

Sarah said she is not afraid of:

  • Papa [that’s her grandfather]
  • tarantulas
  • scorpions
  • clowns
  • eagles
  • Halloween
  • driving
  • heights & flying
  • tree climbing

So there it is. :)

We often do video “interviews” with our kids after big events, like birthday parties. I like this idea of having them answer a more direct question, though. I’m on it!
