A rather frightening for young children is sleeping in a bed infested with bugs. Of course in a child's imagination, bedbugs are not minute creatures that merely reside in piles of dust and skin cells. Bedbugs are the stuffs of nightmares that crawl their way into your skin and reproduce parasitic offspring that consume your flesh until you are reduced into a pile of clothes (yeah, think of the Mummy film franchise). Even though I am no longer eight years old, finding a miniscule, yet highly visible organism scurrying back and forth across my pillow into who-knows-where miraculously transforms my adult person into a paralyzed mass of goosebumps. So, for now? I will be sleeping on a leather (read: bedbug free) daybed and (illegally) amassing DDT.

So, we started collecting more characters from TV show, cartoons, movies, books. Maybe what we need is our own original series. Too bad we don't have an objective third person to use as a narration device.
