My Phobia: Glitter

I am highly fearful of glitter. Yes, glitter, the kind of stuff that sticks anywhere and everywhere and never comes off.

This is a really bad picture, I know, but I was playing Whoonu, and got the glitter card. I could barely even hold onto the card.

It sticks to your skin and you try and try with all you might to pick it off. It comes off onto your finger. Then it is stick there. You try to wipe it on your pants, and next thing you know, it is stuck to your pants. You put your pants in the wash, and it comes off, only to jump onto another item of clothing....Let's not talk about when it gets sprinkled into your hair. I think it is Barbie Day or something like that.

Last year I was asked by a certain art teacher at school to cover her class on the day she gets really excited and sprinkles glitter on every student. It stuck to the bottoms of my shoes while I taught and internally, I panicked, knowing it would come back to my office with me. A student asked if they could do the sprinkling, and you can bet I let her do it!

I am trying to overcome my phobia, like showing a student he had glitter on him and even attempted to help him get it off. That's not easy as you know...

What type of silly thing are you afraid of?
