One night i was staying at a friends place. her little sister was going to bed so i said to her "don't let the bed bugs bite". I found out in the morning her mother couldn't get her to sleep because she had woken up and discovered a mosquito bite on her ankle, obviously this was the bed bugs doing! she was too scared to go back to bed in fear of the dreaded bed bugs!
