So, is this an overexcitability/over-imagination/sensitivity thing or is this a "manipulate mom" thing?
I don't recall his age, but if he is pretty young I would venture a guess that it is the first one. But if there are never cockroaches in cake or ice cream, that would make me wonder as well...lol It's hard to say. My DS has had a few strange phobias that he outgrew, mostly as a toddler/infant. There was a toy he was deathly afraid of, then there was the very quite cricket where he loved until 10 months, then he became terrified of it for about a year. And he was scared of the Oh, David books...but then we realized he was scared of the word "oops" I know it is crazy. Thankfully he is over all this. He still has a little sound sensitivity...but thankfully nothing like that.
