Irrational fear of... forks?

When I was a young child and I saw the Little Mermaid for the first time, there was a scene where Ariel found a fork. She asked the seagull what it was for, and he said it was for brushing her hair.

I was thinking, Please don't brush your hair! Please don't! I was terrified of her using a fork for a brush and I couldn't watch that scene.

Why, you ask? Because I had an image of her accidentally stabbing her head with the fork with blood squirting out of the wound.
