One day, my daughter asked me lay in the lounge chair facing up so she could pour water on my hair without wetting the rest of my body. As I laid there, I saw the beautiful tall palm tree next to me. Suddenly I realized the amount of coconuts at the top of the tree. I drink coconut water twice a day. I am so familiar with how heavy and hard those coconuts are, that I could feel how that could kill me if it fell on me, even worse, my daughter. During that holiday I developed the fear of falling coconuts. I couldn't walk anywhere near trees without being tense and looking up. Is there a name for this phobia?
