After my evil parents MADE me go to bed every night, ALONE, upstairs in our OLD, creaky house, I used to believe that in order to stay alive I had to be a very brave little girl and follow these certain rules:
1st, eyeball the room very carefully, make sure the stuffed anims were not alive & breathing;
2nd, I had to talk to my stuffed anims really nicely to make sure they liked me and wouldn't suffocate me ("Cat's Eye") in my sleep;
3rd, I would crouch down and make sure no monsters were yet under my bed;
4th, (this all happened from the doorway) I shut off the liteswitch, then sprint to the bed (I memorized how many steps it took) and jumped into bed completely ingulfing my body in blankets. No skin could show except my nose to breathe. I knew the boogie man was under my bed at that point, until morning.
Good night!!
