Is/Was Your Mom Afraid Of Mice?

I do apologize!  I was speaking solely from personal experience.  My father was not afraid of mice (or any rodents) in the slightest.  My mother, on the other hand, was deathly afraid of the little suckers!  She could not even watch mice or rodents on TV or in movies.  Again I apologize for my bias!

I didn't think of it as bias. :)  Neither my mother nor father were particularly afraid.

I agree; I don’t see bias.

Real men aren't afraid of mice.

Are you sure...

I'm so happy for you.  My Mom was absolutely terrified of them!  If she saw, or even heard, a mouse, she would scream at the top of her lungs and run from one level of the house to another!  No child should see that!!!

lol. I thought that was just something that happened on cartoons.

LOL... I can assure you it most certainly is not!  The gif is a very accurate depiction of what my mother's reaction would be in the exact same situation!

I didn't watch enough of the gif until reading your comment there, bevo! Ha! I only watched until the mouse dropping in the barrel.

It’s a 404 already.   I hate it when that happens.

It's back!!!! 

It's back up in the description so feel free to peruse to your little heart's content 

Yeah, it's always been playing when I stopped in.  :)

Now that I think about it, I don’t remember my grandmothers ever being afraid of mice either.  I just asked my husband about it.  He doesn’t think his mom is and he doesn’t think his dad’s mom was, but he says his mom’s mom was probably absolutely disgusted by them.  She was disgusted by just about everything.

With my mom just rodents and snakes.  She can at least tolerate other creepy crawlies.

You are very lucky!  My mom's screaming traumatized me!

I believe you, yes. None of us children like to hear a parent scream or be upset.

It also does something to a child seeing an adult so utterly petrified by something that even they themselves have no (initial) fear of!

That's a great picture.  :)   :)

Not to my mother *cringe*!!!
