I always thought that the "things" that lived under the bed would get me if my hands or feet stuck out of the covers. Heaven forbid if they ACTUALLY dangled over the edge. THAT would be absolute death! Oh yeah, and if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night when the lights are off, you have to RUN so they don't get you before you turn the lights on at the wall switch. I always wanted a lamp or nightlight beside my bed so it wouldn't be dark.
