I've been told all the rumors.
I knew it could be true.
(You never really listen...
til this stuff happens to you!)
I heard that she might sleepwalk.
Oh sure, I thought, big deal!
But nothing could prepare me
for what my heart would feel!
Last night I heard a little noise
nearing towards my door.
To my suprise it was my child
walking on all fours! !
She was crawling like an animal
and heading straight towards me...
the sight's burnt in my brain now
(trust me...you HAD to see!)
I screamed and yelled right at her
and told her to 'GET OUT! '
(I know...a mother should comfort
not just scream in fear and shout) .
But I was just so freaked out
as she went back to bed...
I followed her right to her room
and watched her shake her head.
She laughed and said ''That's funny''
''Hey Chels, mom got so scared! ''
My night....completely ruined
I thought she might've cared!
Tonight, one eye is open
I'll never sleep again!
Sleepwalking is her weakness
I fear not ''if''... it's ''when''?
