What makes a better story: "And then that night the school burnt down" or "And then that night there was a major fire that started in the classroom next to mine, and so everything in my room was lost due to smoke and water damage."

Jeepers! I can't believe you admitted the Barbie thing. And that you even remembered the name of the soap.<BR/><BR/>Also, I had a lot of fun mentally removing commas from your list of what you were afraid of.
