Sometimes when I was little I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and I would be walking back from the bathroom in the dark, and I was totally afraid that some burglar had broken into my house, and that the burglar just happened to have a huge vicious dog with him, and that the dog was going to come running up the stairs and attack me at any second. It took me years to be able to go down the hallway in the dark without running!
