I used to be terrified of robbers breaking into our house. I used to get in trouble because I wouldn't close my eyes during prayers at bed time. I was watching out for robbers! I thought that was the perfect opportunity to rob us, when we all had our eyes closed!
It didn't help that our bored neighbor boys were peeping toms, and I would see them looking in the windows!
