Friday the 13th


The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriphobia.

The Stress Management Center & Phobia Institute in Asheville estimates that up to 21 million people in the US are afraid of this day & might even lay out of work or even stay in bed due to their fear. Hmmm, I didnt realize phobias could have such cool fringe benefits.

Tom used to have a phobia of macaroni & cheese. No joke, it would freak him out. He should have been phobic about telling me, knowing that I blog!

Personally, I am afraid of trying to pronounce paraskavedekatriphobia...

  1. Does Tom still have a phobia of mac-and-cheese? And what about mac-and-cheese freaks him out the most?? That's pretty weird......
