Why I hate gargoyles

I had to look at this humanlike gargoyle when I grew up. It wasn't so bad in our first home as it wasn't in a highly trafficked location. However, in our second home, my parents nailed it to the wall at the top of the stairs so it protruded outward, staring out and below to you. I think it's ugly and really gave me the creeps. It also made me swear off gargoyles for the rest of my life!

Funny thing, gargoyles. I find him rather harmlessly cute, but then again, I'm not a kid looking up at it.

I love the 3 gargoyles on my sister back fence at her summer home, and my brother was a huge collector at one time. Perhaps it was a remembrance of our visit to Notre Dame when we little, but all 3 of us rather like the little creatures.
