I used to think that monsters would come and get me after i fell asleep. So I always made booby traps and right after that i would usually fall asleep with the light on. IN the morning hte light would be off and hte traps would be messed up. i thought wow! i taught those monsters! now i know that the "monsters" were my parents who came in to turn the light off
