The only thing to be afraid of in the dark is that you might whang your toe on something hard if you have to shoot to the bathroom real quick-like, and you don't have your furniture pattern burned into memory.

What about monsters and boogeymen that like to hide under your bed and grab your leg to pull you under into their lair so they can devour you bite by bite? :tap:

I'll tell ya what.
I can deal with a dark room (don't prefer to walk in one though :lol:), but forget standing in the shower with the lights out since I saw IT...and that was at LEAST 3-5 years ago :lol:
:shudder:
 
D likes to turn the lights out when I'm in the shower. :mad: The first time I was nervous, but now I'm over it. I know where my body is. :lol:

I have a friend who thinks it's funny to quietly open the door and scream into the shower. Doesn't bother me, I can hear her coming. I did it to her, she just about went thru the roof.....

Yeah, I'd be mad at you. My roommate pulled a similar prank, which caused me to jump out of the shower and slip on the floor and almost kill myself. :mad:

I'm 45 years old and STILL afraid of the dark :lol:

Why make her get over it? Just put a nightlight in her room and let her outgrow it when she's ready.

I am too but my husband won't let me use my night light. :bawl: I am ok knowing that he's awake and guarding the house but the night light comes out when he's on travel.

I think you should take her to Disney and let her see the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Attraction, my kids (2 and 10) loved texting in their jokes and hearing the monsters tell them on stage. A trip to Disney would make me forget any fear.

Please don't give terbear any more ideas for spending money than she already has. :nomoney:

Apparently, she's over it already. As I walked out of her room last night, she told me, "I don't haffa be scared anymore!" I said, "that's right, nothing scary in your room!" and shut the door. :yahoo:
 
I need total darkness. If there is a small light on, I have vivid, detailed dreams all night. Wake up very tired.
 
My son was alittle scared from the movie also. We went to store and he picked out a night lite himself. Gotta cute little duckie. Also for you parents that do have kids that sleep with night lites (or the adults too) after Halloween when decorations go on sale, I stock up on Glow sticks. If power goes out i just snap a stick and hang it from his ceiling fan. Of course flash lights are cool but have to replace batteries too often since they seem to stay on till morning and mommy finds them on the floor.

When me and my twin were about 4, our older sister was mean and actually told us that there was a monster waiting for your arm or leg to fall over the bed in your sleep.

All of a sudden, I was petrified. You could not convince me otherwise.
