When I was little, I got these hand-me-down spider man pajamas. I was (and still am) terrified of spiders, but for some reason I was really excited about them and put them on to go to bed right away. That night was really really hot, and it was almost unbearabale to be under the covers. But I was convinced that if I didn't all the spiders in the house would be lured to the gigantic spider on my pajamas when they saw it, and when I woke up in the morning, I would be covered in spiders and they would eat me.After practically dieing of the heat, then worrying abut the spiders, and switching back and forth between the two a couple of times, I went downstairs a begged my mom to give me different pajamas so i could go to sleep!
