Childhood has many fears

These are the fears that haunted me:
Spiders -- that I'd find one that was bigger than me. This seemed to be a distinct possibility in the closet under the stairs off the laundry area.
That I would break the front window. No one could do that and then live to tell about it.
Getting spanked. It hurt. I didn't like getting spanked.
The dark; someone or something would reach out and grab me.
The Twilight Zone. I never actually watched this TV show. But my older siblings would tell me the stories in detail. This usually happened while we were sleeping outside in the back yard. I was scared 'spitless' -- whatever that is.
