What were you afraid of as a child that seems silly to you now?

Believe it or not - men. Every man except my father seemed a potential rapist, a sex maniac, utterly and absolutely evil. I was petrified of my uncles, cousins, family friends -- any male above the age of, say, fifteen. I'd refuse to talk to any of them, and certainly to be left alone with them. I wouldn't let my uncle take me out to ice-cream once, because I was afraid of what might happen to me. This phase lasted from when I was about 3 to around 9. Subsequently I went through a period of enjoyable indifference. It was like men didn't inhabit my own private world...
Once I hit twelve or so, of course, how all that changed.
Heehee.
