Thanks to my siblings I became afraid of the dark. When I was little, my brothers pushed me into a dark room and would not let me out. Oh the terror I felt! You feel like you're going to lose your mind. Not to mention you think there has to be someone or something in that dark room that will harm you. The more I screamed, the more they laughed. Of course, mom and dad were not at home. When my parents did come home I did not tell on them. I was just so happy to be out of that room. LOL.
