I went on a field trip to a museum and every member of my group was fascinated with animals so we went to the butterfly exhibit, and a rare butterfly landed on my head I didn't notice, and everyone was like, "Oh, that's a pretty butterfly, and eventually a museum official came and said, wow, we've never had someone able to carry that butterfly and she took it off my head and I started screaming! It flew away and I was escourted out of the exhibit immediatly. I looked back later and started cracking up, but I am still afraid of butterflies, and now I terrified my best friend so that she it too.
