My 45 year old daughter says she's not afraid of them. I beat her head against the wall until she said...okay, okay...I'm afraid....
I tried to instill that in my son also. He is 38 now and has begun taking my grandson hunting with him. It's a family tradition. Anyway, all the times I tell him to be careful, he just looks at me and say's, "I'll be fine Mom. Besides, all I have to fear is fear itself. Right?"
Sometimes I really wish I never shared that phrase with him when he was a boy. I could care less how old he is, he's still my little Joey. Like his daddy, he is a good hunter though.
