Got A Phobia?

I'll take "Phronemophobia: fear of thinking" for $200 thanks Gran.
Especially during work time. Sometimes I think my brain actually refuses to operate on some weekdays. It's starting to get embarrassing.
I might have Nebulaphobia (fear of fog). It makes me feel as if the zombies are going to come out and get me.
I guess I would have orinthophobia ( fear of ducks).
But I was attacked by a swan thing. Hateful hateful little beast. I ran and left my oldest to fend for herself. Don't worry she doesn't exhibit any signs that show I abandoned her during the attack. Geesh she was three...
Gee, I wonder what the term is for fear of phobias?????
:-D
I got a kick out of all your phobias and stories.
Chris you won only $2 for a week day.

Betty: I really laughed at "Hateful hateful little beast" my daughter had a duck when she was little. would walk it on a leash. It constantly pooped all over the back yard - yuk and he pecked!
