This will be a picture-less entry, coz I just sorta thought about this, following a chat conversation with hubbs. All kids has fears right? Well of course so do Ayra. For a while, we thought she is only afraid of stuffed animals with large eyes coz she will squirm when you put one near her or she will grab it from you and throw it far far away. But this fear doesn’t last long, coz after seeing the same toy for sometime (yes the house has many many weird looking stuffed animals, there are after all 5 girls in hubbs siblings so go figure), she will happily smirk when you try to scare her with it, grab it and start poking the eyes.
What about cats?? Ayra ABSOLUTELY adores cats! I was amused that she is not afraid of them hahaha. Put her near one, she will go to it and try to poke the cat’s face hahah while blabbering. In the end, the cat is more afraid of her. I get afraid for her, afraid the cat will scratch or bite her. Dogs? Nope, not afraid either. Will even try to go near a dog when we take her out for walks. What about the dark?? Not afraid either. She will gladly waddle into a dark room and explore it, and she’s not afraid when we turn off the lights in our room either. But for the record, we do sleep with a night light on, for MY own benefit so I can see Ayra when she wakes up for night feedings.
But the ONE thing that we found out she is afraid of and truly baffles us to this day is……. our little daughter is afraid of FISHES. Yeah u read it right, Ayra is afraid of fishes. HAHAHAHAHHAHA. I have no idea how did this come about. We found out by chance, really. When she was about 8-9 months old, we went to eat at F.atty Crab. As per most seafood restaurants, there is a large aquarium with many large fishes in it. Thinking she’d like watching the fishes, we brought her near it to see the fishes up close. She started squirming hard in our arms and tried to push herself away from the aquarium. Like ok, that is so weird. Why is she intimidated by fishes swimming quietly in the aquarium?? But yeah, she is afraid. Hahaha. Just a week or two ago, again we went to a restaurant with an aquarium in it. And we tested her fear again. This time she squirmed HARDER and even made ’scared’ noises. But when we took her a safe distance away from the aquarium, she will turn to look at the fishes. Like, takut tapi nak tengok. Hahahaha.
To this day, it amuses me to no end that of all the things in the world, she chose to be afraid of a harmless fish. Tsk tsk. We’re so gonna work on trying to get her past her fears. Looks like we can’t take her to Aquaria anytime soon, else she will be paralyzed with fear!
What about your kids, or even yourselves when you were kids? What are they/you afraid of??
egegege, this is indeed funny! but i guess, dia geli geleman kot. think about it, those scaly squirmy creatures are wiggly at the touch kan, so i suppose she’s smart to make that assessment solely by looking at those fishes.
Nunu? still deathly afraid of cicaks and roaches
haha so funny but i pun not a big fan of fish. i mean i like eating them but looking at them in aquarium is something i can do without haha :D
yazid is one wierd guy. he’s so scared of the ribena lemon advert on tv tu (yg lagu hindi in the background). whenever the advert is on, he’d be running to us & ask us to cover his eyes. it has even made him cry! haha God knows why lah. maybe it’s the huge eyes on the lemon or the fact that lemon has eyes to begin with! haha but we find it hilarious lah. poor guy :p
hehehe memang hilarious kan tgk budak2 ni ketakutan
i even tried holding up a large frozen fish at the supermarket in front of Ayra, and she was also terrified of it
