I have a huge fear of breaking my neck.
I think it spawned from my mother always threatening that it would happen...not that she would do it, but that by some freak accident I would become paralyzed.
She would say things like "Don't ride your bike without a helmet, you'll fall and break your neck" or "Don't climb trees, you'll fall and break your neck"...
Now I find myself thinking about it...
Yesterday, we were throwing apples in the office. I actually thought, I'm not going to walk back down there. They could throw it and it could hit me in the back of the neck and I could be paralyzed.
I'm bound to make an over-protective mother...

...and a very good mother you will be...
Mothers have been saying that for generations...
It's akin to "You'll shoot your eye out kid!"
If we do anything dangerous at our house I say, "stop or you'll knock your teeth out", or "you're going to fall and break your teeth". I'm not too concerned with any other limbs or body parts.
