My Boo Radley was when I was 5, and I was terrified of this fisherman statue by the Farmer's Market. I was literally terrified of it and whenever we walked towards this statue I would run away and hide in the opposite direction. My mom told me that it was no big deal and and one day, she forced me to go to the demonic looking fisherman. I was screaming my lungs out and when we arrived, I stared at that bearded face of pure evil and realized something. It wasn't that scary at all. I remember my mom telling me to walk on up to the fisherman and give it a big hug. I did just that and she took a picture.
My mom tells me this story all the time and when I got this Boo Radley assignment, I knew exactly what it would be. I still walk by the fisherman statue to this day and laugh to myself. I'm twice as tall as it and I know I shouldn't be scared of it but I have to admit, it is just a downright creepy looking fisherman statue.
