Phobias.

Phobias ( in Italian "Fobie"). We all have them but there are a few that deserve to be mentioned..

Keraunothnetophobia is an abnormal fear of being hit by satellites : generally speaking it belongs to the category of irrational fears, like “Coulrophobia” (fear of clowns) or “Ailurophobia” (fear of cats – “Ailouros” is “Cat” in Greek) so, nothing to worry about.


Soceraphobia (fear of parents-in-law), Climacofobia ( fear of falling downstairs) and Ballistophobia (fear of missiles) complete our list of questions next time we see a doctor.


That’s it for today, I'm going downstairs to greet my in-laws, we are planning to stare at the sky together..


A presto.

Pier.
