Question of the day

[foliedemars]

questionoftheday asks: What totally mundane, harmless thing scared you the most as a child?

My answer:

I was taught that Jesus was watching my every move 24/7/365, so I grew up believing that I was always being watched. While sleeping. On the toilet. In the shower. Everywhere. All the time. I worried about it constantly, and the only way I coped was to convince myself that he was equivalent to a guardian angel who was assigned to keep me safe.

Was told the same thing about Santa Claus. And believed it - for years. Freaked me right the heck out (though only for a short time, maybe a few weeks, as we moved toward the Big Day each year).
