Wind Chimes

Okay, I'll come right out and say it: I'm afraid of wind chimes. There I said it, I hate them. The neighbors across the street have them. Every time I go on my front porch, I hear them, my heart races and I try to get back inside as soon as possible. There's also a wind chime kiosk at the mall that is stupid AND scary at the same time! I have no idea why I'm afraid of them, but it's embarrassing to admit. The other day, I drove by my old daycare provider's house and noticed that there were no less than one DOZEN wind chimes on her back deck!!! No doubt, those ghostly bells of death would have quickly driven me mad had they been there back in my day. Now, the "chimes" on a house down the street made out old beer bottles and wire? They lack the ominous toll of conventional chimes and just sound like a bar. Those aren't scary, just odd.


This is never a good gift idea for me.
