How old were you when you began to fear change?
I'm still a young whippersnapper and don't mind kids being on my lawn just yet, but I want to be prepared.

1. I'm almost 40 and it hasn't happened yet.
In fact, I'm less and less afraid of it as I get older.

2. I'd rather change fear than fear change
and yes, I can hear that song! Amazing!

Oh wait - I guess I don't count since I am untantalized. Or was that infantile?

3. Well...
I once came into work with a black eye. My friend asked me what happened. I told him that I called our other friend a two bit whore and he hit me. He said, "That's quite a shiner. What did he hit you with?" I told him, "A bag of quarters."

Ever since then I've been afraid of change. Dimes and quarters are really bad. Those ridges can hurt.

5. Eight.
When attention shifted from the Monkees to the Partridge Family I knew the world was starting to get lost.

6. When I was 7, I beat my brother's head in for denting my Barbie dolls boobies with his fingernails.
That was my first indication that I did not like change.

7. That's a good question. I have no fear of change that I am aware of.
I've always welcomed change more than anyone I know. I think that's a good thing.

8. I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you.
