Somniphobia
Tonight I found out that I have Podophobia, an intense fear of feet (at least giant size 15 feet.) Taylor and Sarah came over tonight to tell us about the camping trip. Taylor's bare feet were scaring the fur off me. Linda even put a treat near his toe, but I was petrified of it. It's a good thing Tier does not have pupaphobia. Not to be confused with popeaphobia. Pupaphobia is fear puppets and she is a puppet master. Popeaphobia is fear of the pope. These may seem the same, but are two completely different real medical phobias. Tier does have one of the top ten phobias, colrophobia or fear of clowns. Linda could have aektorophobia. That's fear of live chickens. She has never been around live chickens, but does think they are scary and weird looking. Some people can't even go into Chik-Fillet because they are so afraid of chickens. If you have a fear of long words its called sesquipedalophobia. I guess you can't tell your Dr. you have it because it is a long word and you will panic. Some jokester must have named it. Obviously Chip does not have catisophobia. Even though it sounds like a cat phobia, it is just a fear of sitting still in one place. Some days Chip stays in Tierney's bed for 14 hours at a time. Linda also could suffer from genuphobia. That is the fear of knees. She is always afraid her other knee is going to break and need to be replaced too. I could go on and on with funny phobias but late and I don't have somniphobia.
