Yes, my grandma (whom I grew up with) was never sympathetic. She must
have thought I'd grow out of it. I never knew it was a phobia at a
young age...all I knew was that I didn't like buttons. That's the only
way I knew how to put it "I don't LIKE buttons." But as far back as I
can remember (I'm only 15 now, lol) I didn't like buttons. And I do
not agree with that 'our real fear is leaches' because the picture
doesn't bother me a bit. Weird. 0-o
