In addition to practicing "fear of the Lord"*, I practice fear of up-positioned church kneelers under the control of small children. Here is a suspenseful, yet tender, haiku my husband helped me write on the subject. :)
Church kneeler raised high . . .
Fidgeting child - watch your toes
OH, NO! CRASH! OW! SHHHHH!
*"The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David. They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations."
--1831 in your Catechism of the Catholic Church
