I want to tell you a little story. Last night, my arm was dangling off the side of the bed a little and I just couldn't shake this nagging feeling in the back of my mind.
It said: "Pull your arm back stupid, before some terrible under-the-bed creature bites you!"
Strange thing to think as an adult, don't you think?
When I was little, I used to be afraid to dangle any body part over the side of the bed because I honestly thought something would chomp my hand off. I went through this phase where I thought ET was going to pop his eerily long neck around the side of my daybed. Those were some disturbing days. Did you go through that? You know, you would hop out of bed as far away as you could get without falling?
For some reason, I was never able to shake that fear. I still get nervous when my hand or foot tips over the edge.
Do you know what's under your bed? I do. It's probably ET.
