Human babies give me the screaming fantods.

I didn't, but I could have written this article: http://voices.yahoo.com/my-fear-babies-paedophobia-491974.html

Though, unlike the author, my phobia has nothing to do with fear of bruising them...it's more like abject horror and revulsion. It lasts from birth to around age 2 when they finally seem human.
