When I was 5 I believed a witch lived under my bed. When it was time for bed I would clear a path between my lightswitch and my bed. I would then get in the pre-race stance with one hand on the lightswitch. Then as i flicked the switch off I'd take off running to my bed and when I was a couple of feet from the bed launch myself onto it. This way the witch wouldn't grab me by my feet and cook me in her pot.
There were, however, a few times when I jumped a little too soon, landing straight on my face,which I imagine looked pretty funny to the witch.
