I just give what they asked me. My brother's house is under renovation, so they are staying in our house for a while. Since my room has an ac, the kids like to sleep in my room. The other night, they asked me.to tell some stories, not something funny but scary. Obliging aunt as i am, told them about the white lady in the corner here in our neighborhood (heard stories about it) and that particular street, where pebbles are thrown at a particular time of the day. The.kids suddenly asked.me to.turn the light on and then covered themselves with blanket.

Sigh, it was me who didn't sleep night, not because i was scared.but the light is on

. Do you love to share stories with kids too?

Haha. You will know better next time won't you? At least it was the light keeping you awake and not the scary story!

@Lucky15 We used to have sleep overs when cousins would come over. We would all be put in one room and there we would tell ghost stories and finally land up on the floor where mother used to sleep

That is a funny and cute story. I love doing same thing with my niece and aunt. They are still very young and it is easy for us adults to make stories as if those are real. Kids have very wild imagination.

Those kids are really funny. You should just switch off the light and sleep. Kids definitely can sleep when they get tired.
