Why do we like scary things?

Fun houses, ghost stories, horror movies?

1. We're a species of emotional addicts with a fear of death.

2. One of BabyMidlo's teachers lives all by herself in the country
on 30+ acres. No dog, no lighted driveway. :scared:

I am way too Skittish to do that.

Although, many years ago I told Mr. Midlo that we needed to move out to the country before the kids became teenagers so the neighbors wouldn't see the cops brining them home.

3. It's the rush, baby!
It's ALL about the rush!

Except for clowns.
Clowns aren't fun-scary.
Clowns are just creepy. :scared:
