When I was 6 or 7 I thougt that sharks and alligators lived under my bed. I was so convinced that if I lifted my bedskirt I would be drowned and eaten alive by these creatures. One day my mom was cleaning and I saw her lifting the bedskirt. I closed my eyes and started screaming, in preperation for the meal I was about to become.
