And there I was! Caught in the Snide! And in that dreadful place Those spooky, empty pants and I were standing face to face!
I yelled for help. I screamed. I shrieked. I howled. I yowled. Why, those pants began to cry! Those pants began to tremble. They were just as scared as I! I never heard such whimpering And I began to see That I was just as strange to them As they were strange to me! So… I put my arm around their waist And sat right down beside them. I calmed them down. Poor empty pants With nobody inside them.
So, in no particular order, here goes: The plane ride. The thought of being on a plane for any amount of time, let alone nearly ten hours used to bring me to my knees and, truthfully, kept me home. While I long ago learned that taking a Xanax would ease those fears, over the past decade I have moved from taking a Xanax, to just having it in my handbag only occasionally clutching it to not even filling the prescription.
Illness or Malady. Every single time I ever go anywhere I spend an inordinate amount of time prior to departure worrying about getting sick while there. Of note: I hardly ever get sick when I am home, so why I would worry about it when I am away is a sign of bat-shit craziness.
That being said, I did get quite a nasty upper respiratory infection last year while in Las Vegas…but I also lived to talk about it. Interestingly enough, during my trip to Chile not one, not two, but three of my travel companions came down with an antibiotic-requiring ailment. I did not. Climbing a mountain. But, yet, I stopped What could those pants be there for? What could a pair of pants at night Be standing in the air for?
And then they moved? Those empty pants! They kind of started jumping. And then my heart, I must admit, It kind of started thumping. So I got out. I got out fast As fast as I could go, sir. But pants like that I did not care for. No, sir. After that a week went by. Then one dark night in Grin-itch I had to do an errand there And fetch some Grin-itch spinach Well, I had fetched the spinach. I was starting back through town When those pants raced around a corner And they almost knocked me down!
I ran for home! Believe me, I had really had a scare! Well, I started in to shiver. I ran and found a Brickle bush I hid myself away. I got brickles in my britches But I stayed there anyway. I stayed all night. I had to do an errand, Had to pick a peck of Snide In a dark and gloomy Snide-field That was almost nine miles wide.
I said them. But I lied them. And there I was! Caught in the Snide! And in that dreadful place Those spooky, empty pants and I were standing face to face! I yelled for help. I screamed. I shrieked. I howled. I yowled. Why, those pants began to cry! A bit of a silly, rhyming story about a pair of wandering pants the main character is frightened of. But I think this story also helps show kids that often the things we are afraid of are really just things we don't understand or haven't had experience with.

Great book about how to overcome a fear by realizing that your fear may be as scared as you are. This book goes to show that once we get to know one another, we have more in common than what our fear told us and we can begin to mend that bridge to become friends.
