Fear Itself

Things That James Was Afraid of Today:

The soundtrack to Return of the Jedi
The possibility of ghosts living in the backyard
Brushing his teeth by himself
Not being able to button his pajamas
Owen getting into the Christmas tree
My stubble
The likelihood of his having a beard some day
My African-American trumpet student
Falling over on his bike
A type of Wegman's pizza he'd never tried before

Things That Owen Was Not Afraid of Today:

Walking around the house without pants
Walking around the backyard in the dark without a flashlight
Getting into the Christmas tree
Flying leaps off of the sofa
Flying leaps off of the stepstool
Climbing onto and walking across the dining room table to retrieve a sippy cup on the other side
Eating semi fossilized food he found under his high chair
My African-American trumpet student (or, as Owen thinks of him, his new friend)
Toilet-related bacteria
Pillow fights with anyone who would fight back
