Still Age 5

Night time would come, she would get into bed with me. I told her that I was a big boy now and I wanted to sleep on my own. She told me it was for my own protection in case anything bad happened to me. It was a single bed and I didnt have much room. She would be gone by the time I would wake up in the morning. She told Dad that it was because I couldn't sleep.
At that age it was like having a life size teddy bear. I already had a normal sized teddy and I carried it everywhere.
