I used to hate going to sleep, I would kick and scream an run around my room, so to make me get in bed my mom told me that there were gypsies that wander around at night, and if little girls aren't in their beds at 8 or whenever my bedtime was, the gypsies would come and put them in a sack and take them away forever. I would hide under my covers and not let even my little toe stick out. I also didn't want them to grab my feet when I was getting into bed so I would get a running start in the hall and jump as far as i could to get to bed.
