WORMS!!!!
Ex. My cousin, who was only a year older than I, knew I disliked worms as a kid. While playing outside in our barefeet, he thought it was hilarious to put a hanful of the slimy creatures in my shoes. I was not impressed when it was time for me to go home. To this day, I still hate worms, and can not bring myself to touch them!! Ewww!!!
