    In closing to Halloween/Fall time, how holidays and certain normalized belief systems have created a form of anxiousness in upbringing? Idk if that's too vague or general, hope that makes sense!

    I’m trying to pass that on to my daughter, helping her learn how to interact with spiders and reptiles.

    I'm one of those people terrified of tiny spiders but love snakes. I love holding them and letting them nestle on me. I also can't do bugs of any sort. I actually had to skip that part. I'm nearly 60. I don't think that is ever going to go away.

    That was disgusting and so dangerous when the sharp tin fell on his face. I get grossed out by the smell of tuna or any cooked fish. Ironically I am not bothered by the smell of raw fish like you would encounter where people are fishing.
