Assignment #10- Haley Noehren- Irrational Fears

I used to hate filling out 'get to know me' cards because I could never pinpoint a fear. I don't like Ferris-wheels, but I'm not afraid of heights. I hate worms and insects, but I'm not scared of them, they are just gross. It wasn't until the summer of my freshman year that I discovered my irrational fear; wax figures. Yes, you heard me right, I am terrified of wax figures. While on a family vacation, my mom got a free ticket to a wax figure museum and thought it would be cool to go, just for fun. I went, expecting to laugh at the stupidity of a museum filled with wax look-alikes of famous people. Well, I instead discovered that wax figures look way too much like real humans and that creeped me out. After 10 minuets in the museum I felt that their fake glossy eyes were all looking at me and that one of them would actually be real and follow me. Yes it's the stupidest thing ever, obviously the wax figures are fake. Nonetheless, after that terrifying experience, I will never go back to a wax museum again. So yeah, now the world knows that wax figures are something that scares me the most. Why? I don't know, I guess that's why it's called an irrational fear.
