From the age 4-7 years I believed a witch lived under my bed. So every night I would get in starting position by my light switch, flick the light off; then proceed to run as fast as I could and launch myself onto my bed so the 'witch' wouldn't grab me and put me in a potion. There were several times when I'd trip over a toy and land flat on my face on the way to my bed. Once I even jumped too early and missed the bed altogether, landing flat out on my stomache!
