Fear

Jack:  Mama, is “fear” a word?

Mama: “fear” or “sphere”?

Jack: “fear”

Mama:  Yes, fear is a word.

Jack: What does it mean?

Mama:  Fear is being afraid.

Jack: Oh.  I am fear sometimes.

Mama: You are? 

Jack: I am fear of dark places.

Mama: Yeah?

Jack: Yeah, and I am fear of bears.

Mama: Dark places and bears.

Jack: I am fear of not getting my way.

Mama: I see.

 

(I think Mama is fear of that too...)
