fear is hard to banish when screams are coming from every room.

yeah, when I got my (large) tattoo, in an area I was told could be painful (over my upper back, including spine and shoulder blades, and I'm bony), I wasn't actually nervous until the woman before me was yelling bloody murder for a tramp stamp, LOL and then it didn't hurt me at all, LOL

Yeah - when one kid starts wailing, the others start even if they don’t know why the first kid is wailing.
