A list of scary things includes "roller skating down hill when you haven't learned how to stop, getting hugged by somebody you don't like, and finding out your best friend has a best friend who isn't you."

One Potato Review

Discovering that hand you’re holding onto isn’t your mother’s. Stepping on something squishy with your bare feet. Waiting for someone to jump out and shout Boo! Waiting for yourself to jump out and shout Boo! Getting a haircut, and they’re cutting it too short. Signs where you can’t understand what they’re telling you is so dangerous. Growing up. Some things are scary because they’re inevitable. Perfectly, sparingly illustrated by the iconic Jules Feiffer.
