Summary

This quote humorously highlights a personal fear of the speaker. Instead of being afraid of height like most people, the speaker reveals a comedic twist by stating that they are afraid of widths. It implies a fear of the extent, vastness, or breadth of something rather than the physical distance from the ground. The quote is a playful exaggeration that brings light-hearted amusement by subverting common fears and adding a touch of absurdity to the speaker's experience of walking their dog on a ledge.
