bugs and night time dreads

Cal was petrified by a mal-functioning smoke alarm tonight. He remained scared when he went to bed and asked me to lie down with him. After we lay there for a while he said, "Can I change aisles with you?" When I asked him why, he said, "Because that side has bugs, and spiders, and ants, and ladybugs, and butterflies. So I need to change to that side."

Very creative. And yes, he afraid of butterflies and ladybugs.
