Scared of what?

“I’m scared of something and I don’t know what I’m scared of and I’m scared of not knowing,” says Lucy, 5 1/2 years old.

When I was a kid I was afraid of the dark and afraid of whatever lived (according to my imagination) in the trees near our house.

I’m still afraid of the dark and also afraid of the political and environmental state of the world.  Maybe that’s what Lucy doesn’t know yet.
