DE: Minor Phobias

[bjornwilde]

You know what gives me pause every damn time I do it? Grating. There is always a little moment of fear before I laugh at myself and get on with the cheesy goodness (or carrots or ginger). Getting anything out of the garbage disposal does the same thing, though to be honest I do have big hands, so it's realistic to be worried about getting stuck right?

So, what little, but perfectly reasonable, fears do you or your pup have? Do you share any? Have you projected any onto your pup?

Also, the back log of daily entertainment topics is getting a bit thin, anyone have a suggestion? Leave it here!

The first minor fear I have that I can think of? Biting my tongue due to impact. If I'm riding my bike on a bumpy street or if I'm climbing the stairs for more than a few steps I pretty much automatically remind myself to keep my tongue away from my teeth just in case I hit a really bad bump or trip. I've never actually bitten my tongue in a fall, but why take a chance?

As for characters and their minor, reasonable fears:

Ray always checks his slippers before putting his feet in, even if he's in his usual groggy slow-wake process. He lives with Slimer. There have been... incidents.

Gordon has had a number of minor reasonable fears in the past. The most recently acquired one involves changing Eli's diaper, as dodging has become a little more difficult to gauge with only one eye to work with.

Adrian is twenty-three to twenty-four years-spent-awake old (he's not counting the downtime enforced by the G-Man) and may be his world's Sergeant-Major of the Marine Corps but he still fears that if his mother catches him cussing, either out loud or in print, he'll be marched out to work with her in the beehives the very first chance she gets, just like she used to do when he was a kid.

A hint for Gordon, lay a washcloth or other small cloth over the...uh...targeting system while doing the deed, just be careful not to pin the cloth to the fresh diaper..

And I worry about biting my tongue all the damn time.
