Ghoulies and Beasties and Monsters.

Oh my! Talking to my 7 year old son about my experience with being afraid of the dark as a child has resulted in two things:

1. He seems to have shrugged off his passing darkness-related anxiety. (yay!)

2. Venturing outside alone at night now causes me to abruptly recall why I was afraid of the dark as a child. (less than yay!)

There is no way to look cool while scurrying back to your house to avoid completely imaginary ghoulies/beasties/monsters. Trust me.

All I can hope for now is that the neighbours weren't watching.
