When I was younger, I used to watch a show on TV called "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" One day, there was an episode about a vampire. I was all alone, so when I saw it I got very scared. I thought to myself, I must protect myself and my family from this menace. So I went to the spice cabinet, grabbed the garlic powder, and sprinkled it all around the house. And I mean everywhere. When my mom got home from work, she wondered why her bed was all itchy.
