The Bark Is Bigger Than The Bite, Yo!
My 2.5-year-old son is deathly afraid of dogs. In and of itself, no big deal. Kids have fears, kids outgrow fears. Crusher, however, is fearful of even the idea of these four-legged beasts. He has a physical aversion to even the word "dog." We continue to mourn the loss of any urban hipness we aspire to, as the phrase, "What up, Dawg?" must be banned from our otherwise ghetto crib. Our lagging street cred is a small price to pay to spare our son an emotional tsunami at the paws of these vicious behemoths (miniature Chihuahua puppies).
I fear Crusher is in jeopardy of having his man card revoked. Any hopes of his sprouting chest hair prior to his Bar Mitzvah, totally out.
Another source of stress for Crusher? Puppets. Good news and bad news. Last year at preschool a puppet theatre group came in to entertain the kids. The good news was only one kid in the entire school was scared of them. Want to guess what the bad news was?
In a last ditch attempt to save my soul and not sell-out my kid completely, I want to give Crusher a big shout-out. We went to Chuck E. Cheese last weekend and when that massive, overstuffed mouse sauntered by, Crusher did not run, and he did not hide. My boy looked fear straight in the eyes and spit at it. Unfortunately, it spit right back. No, I'm just kidding. Any wide-angle camera lens would show the two of them, buddies as they are, in rooms right next to each other!
LMFAO @ spitting right back! BWHAHAHA

I am dying laughing because we were at CEC today, and my son screamed in terror and began shaking when the dreaded mouse came out!!

I was worried that Crusher had kicked Chuck E. Cheese in the groin. Because that would show that mouse on steroids who's boss.
And I'm pretty sure that would make Crusher's Man Car a platinum edition.

How odd.. my 2.5 year old daughter freida is also deathly afraid of dogs!! This seems odd to everyone since she has never had a bad experience to them.. she has only not been afraid of 3 dogs in her almost 3 years. Dicks brothers... ours that got stolen... and Gigis.. sigh.. i hope she shall grow out of it
UH OH... I should puppet test her before school i guess.

My son is deathly afraid of CEC - he doesn't like "the big teeth."
Pretty funny about the spitting!

Crusher is my hero.
I'm afraid of Chuck E. Cheese. All those overgrown, mechanical puppets that sing and give the psuedo news. Worse than clowns any day of the week.

My 5 year old hates dogs. He says he only likes little ones. Yeah right! He high tails it from them too. But, he gets the fear honest, I tell you. I used to be afraid of them. Now I just don't like animals. So, one day Crusher might just make the decision not to have anything with dogs. He'll still be a good guy, I promise. I'm a pretty good guy.

Oh, I hope that his fear of dogs goes away as he gets older! I actually used to be afraid of dogs when I was much younger, but now, of course, I am a huge dog person. I actually like dogs more than I like most people!

My 4 year old son is deathly afraid of dogs too. He needs to outgrow it because as soon as we have a house we're getting a dog. (I love dogs)
I attribute his fear, to our neighbors dog. A small white, yappy, hyperactive little dog, that jumps on you incessantly.
Now, every time he sees a dog, he steers clear of it, like half a mile clear of it or he hides behind my legs. And if it barks he screams.
*sigh*

Lol...awww the wee soul!!!
My wee barra has only recently decided that he REALLY likes dogs. We're not sure if this is a good thing yet as if he asks for a dog when older (I'm thinking about 6 at the very least)then we're gonna have to get a VERY big dog, as otherwise my little destructor would break the poor helpless thing.
As for CEC, I'm unsure what exactly that is (being from Scotland and all) but if it's people dressing up in big animal costumes to meet and greet kids, then something Robyn Williams said onstage one time covers it:
He said that when taking his 3 yr old to Walt Disney World, he thought that it would be great, his son would get to meet Mickey Mouse(person in MM costume), it'd be very cute etc etc etc.........when they got there and his son saw Mickey Mouse, he freaked out, because to a wee child, Mickey Mouse is not infact Mickey Mouse.....Mickey Mouse is a 6ft f***ing RAT!!!!!!
So, Bravo to the wee barra for standing his ground!!!
As usual lass, you got me laughing!!!

PS...I was wondering if I could ask your opinion on something.......you do seem to have a very good head on your shoulders.
Could you possible take a peek at todays post on my site and give me your opinion on my idea?
I'd be really gratefull for an honest opinion.
thnx. x

Poor Crusher. That sucks to be so afraid of DAWGS. I had to laugh though at the chucky cheese thang....maybe he'll get over those fears as he gets older?

Thank you so much for your opinion and advice, it's really appreciated!
I do agree that I should probably start off 'smaller' and if it turns out to be something people use then maybe expand. Husband's going to set up a website for me on which I can base and research advertising and marketing.
lol I'm just wanting to be 'doing' something so badly I think...and also, if it does turn out to be successfull even in the smallest of ways, it could help fund my phd study.
Again thankyou for taking the time.

Well, my son runs from Chuck E. Cheese. He's cool with dogs, as you might have guessed from the puppy party he attended last week. I'm not sure he'd be too keen on puppets though. Kids are funny. What up Dawg?

Don't worry, my younger brother was a HUGE sissy when he was little. He's now 6'5, 230 lbs and all-in-all, one tough dude.
Baby steps ... get a stuffed animal doggy and move up from there

It spit back? That asshole.
Dude that thing is not a dog, it's an overgrown rat. I'm scared of all rats. I kick them and then they die. HAHAHAHA.
I was afraid of dogs for years. I'm still not overly into them, but I'm not really afraid.

Now, if you can just teach him to spit at dogs, you'll have it made!

Kids are so funny that way! My two youngest are terrified of the lawn mower, and my oldest wouldn't use a self-flushing toilet until she was 8!

I've always wanted to see a kid spit at Chucky Cheese. LOL. Crusher's my kind of toddler.

HA! I am cracking up over everybody's comments! TC is scared of loud noises but will cover his ears and watch anyway. He loves anything destructive and for weeks he went around the house being "Incredible Hulk." That was fun.
