Getting to and into bed turns into an obstacle course full of adventure in the dark! So what else is new?
There’s A Great White Under The Bed
It's only 3 inches long but my big toe did come in contact with its great gaping maws...and this isn't the first time there was a "dangerous" animal lurking where it shouldn't have been.
