justified phobia

my biggest fear, hands down...deer. might sound crazy, yes i know. there will not be a picture to go along with this post because i refuse to google image one.  whenever i share my fear with people i get one of two questions "have you ever hit a deer?" or "does this go back to watching bambie as a child?"  and the answer to both is  no.  i've been a passenger in car that has struck a deer and i barely remember bambie. it all stems back to 7th grade.  we were camping with family friends and three of us went on a hike.  we came across a deer and the boys wanted to get as close as possible while i started screaming and running in the opposite direction. i've never been a huge fan of animals let alone one that up close and personal.

my fear has just continued to build over the years.  the stories are countless of how i've been tormented about my strange phobia.

the below headlines from this week helped justify my fear:


iowa ranks #2 in the country for car-deer crashes

iowa woman hurt in freak deer accident

tommy boy didn't make things any better either.
