My sister Liz used to tell me that when you went to sleep at night, little worms would crawl out of your body, and then crawl back INTO your body before you woke up and got out of bed in the morning. I was so worried that some of them might get stuck or lost in the sheets during the night. And what if I had to suddenly jump up out of bed in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom ? How would all those little worms get back into then?
