Why You Shouldn't Leave Your Kids Alone Around Mirrors
My mom had expensive taste so as soon as I was too old for a crib my parents outfitted my room with grand and ornate furniture. It might seem out of place for a kid at that age to have mahogany dressers and a king-sized bed, but it's really not strange at all if you knew my parents. They always treated me like an adult. Even my name, Allanah, had seemed too big for me at that age. Part of my new and exquisite bedroom set was a massive vanity mirror. It was one of those things that were so decadent it bordered on gross. My parents hung the mirror on a wall opposite my bed, and it gave me the creeps. I hated it, but no matter how much I complained my parents refused to take it down. Lest it ruins the decorum of the room. I couldn't even sleep with this mirror staring at me. The night terrors came so frequently my dad eventually found a compromise and hung a sheet over it every night with thumbtacks. This helped me fall asleep, but I still felt uneasy in my own room.
