When I was about 7 or 8yrs old I used to get scared whenever we visited a particular elderly Greek friend of the family. I was convinced she was a witch.

I was that nervous of being in her home that when given a drink in a glass I would literally bite into the glass until it broke (a few times it cut my lips which caused mayhem with mum panicking, dad shouting, siblings laughing etc). My parents couldn't understand why this only ever happened when we visited her house and I was too shy to tell them how scared I was.

This glass-biting thing happened so many times there, that in the end I was given plastic cups to drink from.

I now know she was dressed all in black cos she was in mourning and the strange, pungent smell in her house was mothballs LOL

.......... and adi amin, i was told if i didnt eat my tea he was gonna come and get me and chop my head of no wonder im nuts

I was afraid of pulling the flush, as well, Puss. In case a monster got me

The girl next door also once told me that I would get get a baby in my tummy if I sat on the loo after my brothers or my dad. I was about 9 or 10 I think. My one brother was only a baby!! I was petrified of sitting on the toilet seat if I knew they had needed to *sit down* and thought that was why they had to wee with the loo seat up!!

I thought that was why my mum had so many babies and that was why you had mens/boys toilets and ladies/girls toilets, too. pmsl!!

Love
