    sleep by myself. My father hated that! However‚ my mother always laughed her head off as she wondered how a little kid like me could walk all the way across the hallway to her bedroom in the dark‚ yet still be scared of thunder storms. She would then carry me back to my own room every night until I was about 5; after that age she wasn’t able to carry me anymore. Not that I’m too big or too fat or anything‚ she was just really sick.
