Bears...

So Erin has this irrational fear of bears.  We drive through the woods and its "oh no the bears are going to get me."  She cried at night because the bears are in her room so we got a bunk\bed and told her that bears can't get her.  Then she worries about Levi on the bottom bunk and tells us all about all the bears she saw last night.  This is an ongoing thing for the last, oh, 6 months.  Levi seemed oblivious.  Then today we went visit Bucky's aunt who just had surgery.  Her husband is an avid hunter and among the things he has hunted recently are black bears.  He had 2 of them made into rugs and they are in the front room.  We walked in and Levi was fine until he looks down at it.  He jumped at least a foot and ran and leaped onto the couch and would not go anywhere near those rugs.  Erin couldn't stay away. but she told Vicki that she couldn't have those in her room because she would think they were real and  be super scared!
