I have heard that some people suffer from something called Coulrophobia– that is a fear of clowns. I can’t figure that one out, but it’s a real fear and I know people who have never been to a circus or a parade for fear of running into one.

However, there is something from the world of amusements that does give me the creeps and weirds me out.

Carousel Horses.

I don’t hate them, but in thinking about it I wouldn’t ride the horses on carousels. I’d ride the lions and fish or even the benches on a carousel.

I hated the horses.

 I thought they were mean and evil and alive.

I still do.
