I never grew out of being afraid of the dark. Now, watching anything remotely scary after dark is a recipe for disaster. Panicking and nightmares are guaranteed. Last night, we were watching Stranger Things. As it got more intense, I cuddled up closer and closer to my husband (who is essentially my security blanket during scary movies. Even though he's kind of a twit).

Husband: Aww, are you getting scared?

Me: Maybe...

Husband: Shh, it's ok... it's ok... (hugging me and petting my hair). Don't worry. The monsters won't come for you until you're asleep.
