I didn't even realize it till today... a cop car slowed down in front of our house and my heart just about jumped out of my chest. Then I thought about it and it occurred to me that I do that every time I see a police car. Never mind that I've NEVER, in my entire life, done anything that I could be arrested for, making this a completely irrational reaction - LOL!
Actually, I don't think your fear is laughable at all. Growing up, it was completely ingrained in our heads to never, ever talk to strangers, but to really run like hell if you saw a stranger in a van. We were always told that twisted perverts would kidnap little kids and throw them in the back of the van. I don't think I got over that until my parents actually OWNED a van, haha.
