Most of us outgrow that "I need an adult!" feeling by the time we're in high school, or during our college days at the latest, but sometimes we encounter scary stuff that makes us feel like a kidult in need of adult supervision.
That's the feeling you get when you see something creepy that makes you want to hide in the closet and count to a hundred, or someone who gives you nightmares like a 5-year-old after watching Gremlins.
You may find it quite comforting to know there are other grown folks out there who feel like little kids when they encounter something creepy, but try and stifle your screams if you look through this post while you're all alone!

Reminds me of when we were visiting our first granddaughter when she was little. She had one of the first "Tickle-Me Elmo" dolls. MrsO picked it up and set off the doll's mechanism. That it startled her is an understatement. Our Granddaughter laughed heartily as she thought it was so funny. The incident became part of family lore.
