Bestie Friend: Hey Marie! Guess what?
Me: What?
Bestie: When you die, you should reincarnate as a horse.
Me: *confused* Umm...why?
Bestie: Because horses can't vomit!
Me: LOL
Now I did my research and found out why. Horses can vomit, but they can't vomit whenever like we, humans, do. Their esophagus is at an angle, where food can only enter, and cannot come back up. The esophagus then closes off the opening, and food is unable to come back. The horse's stomach becomes bloated because of this function, and they are most likely to get colic. Now, the reason why she said that to me was because of my emetophobia. Whenever I get nauseated (which is ALL the time, that's why I have my appointment tomorrow) I'm scared that I may throw up and find ways to stop my nausea. My best friends are Pepto Bismol and Mint gum. A few weeks ago, a kid threw up in the Social Studies pod, and I was near the doorway. I was scared, that I actually started to shake. The boys at my table asked why I was shaking and I told them I have emetophobia, fear of vomit. I didn't dare to look until that was cleaned up. I didn't leave the classroom till that custodian cleaned it up. After the bell, she was almost done and I stayed back and left when she was done. Even if it was clean, I still didn't look. I've thrown up a few times when I was younger because of the junk foods and the fact that Puerto Rico has a lot of potholes. Whenever my parents mention that we should go to Puerto Rico, I quickly shout out NO. There's nothing bad it's just because of my emetophobia, and that's the main cause. And yes, my best friend actually said that to me. She's so innocent.
