Yes, we do the same in this household. It does seem to be congenital because my husband compairs my whole family to a "bunch of out of work comedians". In Ryan's case however, all that has to happen is that I enter a room unexpectedly and you would think that I jumped out from behind the door and yelled BOOOOOOOO! Things could be worse. Just thought I would check and see if there was a link. Danny, does Jonathan have CAH? Is he afraid of other things like the dark or loud, sudden noises? How does your other daughter with CAH behave in similar situations? Thanks for your responce.LynnT
