It's Friday the 13th! Are you nervous? Is that goose flesh growing on your arm?

Some people are genuinely frightened today. They think 13 can bring them harm.

It's triskaidekaphobia - the fear of the number 13.

Some are so scared they stay in their house and refuse to go out and be seen!

The number 13 doesn't scare me, but I have some irrational fears.

For example, fifthgradeattitudeaphobia seems to be quite strong this year.

I have caninechewaphobia, or the fear of homework that's not done.

Fcatbombaphobia - that's another one.

Screencrackedloststylusaphobia I worry about every day.

If you don't know what that means, think about your PDA.

Can'tthinkofapoemaphobia is the fear of Morning Work.

Nocaffeineaphobia is when I'm afraid the pot won't perk.

Of all these weird "aphobias" the scariest one of all

is one that if you catch it, you'll want to cry and bawl.

This one, if it really does occur, affects both me and you.

I hope longerschoolyearnosummer-vacationextendedschooldaycancel-ledholidaysaphobia never does come true!
