I told my husband that I would seriously need to be sedated to be a passenger on this bridge. No thank you, we will go the long way or not go at all.
And, yes, even:
Yesterday, a petting zoo came to H's school. H was so excited, he ran up, knelt down and pet it with no fear. "Mommy, feel how soft this is!" he insisted. My hand hesitated above, but I wanted to set a good example for H. I pet it. I pet a rabbit. I still feel a little ill today. I know it seems unreasonable,but a rodent is a rodent. Hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, they all make me cringe.
These are just my tangible fears, my intangible fears are much more numerous.

A rat, mouse and even a squirrl I can understand. They are small thin and can be a little creepy looking at times. I just wonder if the bunny (pictured) would cause the same repulsion had it never been labled a rodent? If by putting it in the rodent catagory automaticly places it on the repulsive list. Just a thought.
