For some reason, even into my teens, I was petrified that when the lights went out in my room the floor was covered with alligators. I became an expert at jumping from the door-frame to the bed. Some nights I would get in bed and then call for my parents or sister to turn off the light for me.
My husband teases me - asking if he needs to turn on the light for the alligators - if I get out of bed in the middle of the night.
