My parents innocently told me one night that if I got out of bed to get water or go to the bathroom (for the hundreth time that night) that a nasty horrible crocodile monster with gigantic sharp teeth would eat my feet as soon as I placed them on the floor next to the bed. He'd come jumping out from under the bed and surely clamp on, and I'd be doomed, I thought.
This only promped me to start launching myself from the bed to the door, using the bed as a trampoline! *Boing!* Freedom!
