I used to believe a lion lived under my bed (but only after dark of course)and as I didn't have a bedside lamp I had to switch the light off at the doorway to my room and then try to jump to my bed ( which was against the opposite wall) the second I turned the light off. My heart would be in my mouth and I would have to lie there for some time to calm down before I could even think of going to sleep. I think the lion still lives there.....BUT I DON"T.
