history: Honestly, I am, for the most part, scared of the dark.  I think it is from all the scary movies I watched when I was a kid. In all seriousness_comma_ even as an adult_comma_ I am scared of the dark.  I think it is from all the scary movies I used to watch as a child.   Do you have a night light?
current: Yes!  A night light, a flash light (in case the night light goes out), a hall light, and a kitchen light for good measure!
next: That's such a good idea, did the scary movies ruin you?
