• when i was younger, my sisters, little brother, and i would sometimes watch scary movies together and agree that we would just sleep downstairs in the family room. so all six of us would be lined up along the family room floor like tightly packed sardines,watching the movies with our eyes just over the edge of the covers so we could pull them over our faces and sink under the blankets during the scary parts. but before we got settled we always fought over who would have to sleep at the ends, which were the scarier places because you didn't have the security of a body on both sides (maybe i should add a siblingsbody. they'd tell me that i had to be at the end because i'm the oldest, but i picked the end that was by the fireplace--not next open space and the hallway. i'd tell the second oldest, michelle, to take the other end because she was braver.
