I think as a kid I was scared of them because I remember my mom having to bribe me to get a booster shot once, but now I just hate them, much like I hate bugs and snakes. It's not that I'm afraid of bugs or snakes, I just don't like them. But I agree - it it totally weird what our body accepts and rejects.
Also, that was a really dirty trick for your mom to play. I'm sarcastic with my kids, which I don't think my husband always appreciates, but my oldest son (who will be nine in a couple months *shudders at the thought*) is beginning to develop a healthy appreciation for the fine art of sarcasm. I haven't yet decided if that's a good thing or a bad thing because I'm sure it will come back to bite me in the butt during the teen years, but at least he sort of gets sarcasm, as opposed to runes. I've been known to jot down poetry in my notebook at work and, since I work for an attorney and I don't want anyone to know what it is that I've written if, say, a client or someone were to see said notebook lying on my desk, I've written poetry in runes before. Nothing says awesome like a page of haiku written in runes. :)
