It is also amazing what children(who grow up to be adults) can learn from their parents.
I am absolutely petrified of wasps. I jumped out of a moving vehicle because one flew in the window. I was only stung a couple times as a child and I don't remember it being that bad, but yet I still have a ridiculous irrational fear of them.
I visited my mom a couple days ago for my birthday, and she saw a wasp and completely flipped her lid, screamed and ran out of the room.
I looked at her, looked at myself, and was like, so this is where I got it from!!
I had grown up my entire life learning to fear them because she feared them.
