Memories from the Forgetful

Does anyone remember this show? A group of teens would get together at night in the woods and tell scary stories. They called themselves "The Midnight Society"



Well, That's not really where I was going with this.

I used to be so ridiculously scared of the dark. I had a night light for a long time, until I was at least eight years old. (I won't go into the story about having my night light taken away.) After my night light WAS taken away, I did not magically become NOT afraid of the dark I was still RIDICULOUSLY scared. What was an eight year old to do?

I would sneak down the hallway with my pillow and blanket to the bathroom. I would flip on the light and push my pillow up against the doorway, so the light would not shine under the door. I would sleep in the bathroom under full lights on the hard floor. I did try to go Stephanie Tanner (Full House reference) style and sleep in the tub, but it was not as comfortable as you would think. (Warning: this is the whole episode. I couldn't find the tiny clip or image.)

I would wake up in the morning and sneak back into my bed before anyone got up. No one ever knew... or maybe they did. I like to think that no one knew. Anyways, that didn't last forever, I got over it eventually and now I yell at Chris for leaving lights on in the house at night. I can't stand lights on at night, but I still kind of miss my bedside night light. It was a fishbowl, with a turtle in a derby hat inside. How cool is that?
