It started around the age of seven . . . I could have been older or younger, but I don't remember a lot from that period of my life, so I don't know for sure. My mother told me about this awesome "family movie" that was amazing and I would absolutely love because it is a treasured classic.
I watched the movie with my mother and the beloved classic turned into a traumatic experience for me. I instantly became stricken with fear, the main character was supposed to be cute and lovable instead I was afraid of him . . . everything about him. I finished the whole movie and that night had terrible nightmares, from then on I could never watch the movie again--and to this day I still cannot.
People call my fear irrational, they make fun of me for it. The fact that I am so completely terrified by this children's classic causes people to judge me. I know that my fear is irriational, I know it sounds stupid and is completely asinine . . . but it's my fear and I am no longer afraid to hide it.
So what movie caused this crazy fear of mine... why can't I see his face, hear the music, watch a clip, or even see a snippet of this movie? What is the movie my kids will never watch in my presence, or ever be played in my house while I'm home. Well here goes I am going to admit it now to everyone . . .
Hi my name is Vanessa, and I am deathly terrified of E.T.!!!!!
(By the way the fact that I just put his name on my blog is a very big step for me . . . almost regretting it now!)
