i believed in things under my bed, but covered my fears. my little brother was more afraid as we shared the room. To compensate, I would have my play army soldiers and tanks positioned at strategic places around the room targeting all the exit points under our beds. that way, if any monsters or such came out, the army would take care of them. that really gave my brother a comfort on many nights. but it was not just for him. even today, i still thank the US Army for protecting us from monster that would come in the night.
