A childhood belief about monsters

When i was about 7 my freind told me this story about this monster who would go under chairs,fridgerators,and anything else you could go under so i was scared to sit on chairs and get near anything that had under neaith areas so one day i sat on a chair with my feet up and then i said to my self "Nothing i think ill put my feet down now" when i put my feet down my cat runs underneath the chair runbing my leg i scream and fthrow the chair back and say "Oh no my legs are gonna get eaten" My mom ran in and yelled at me and then i toled her the sotry she laughed and said "That was a story" But i wasnt convinced till i was 9 i though when i threw the cahir back it had to move with it... hehe
