No Fear

Tonight at bedtime Sophie asked me to shut the door so she could sleep in darkness. This is the exchange that followed.

Phoebe: No! Don't shut the door! I'm afraid of the dark!

Sophie: (looking at me) I like the dark. Dark dark dark. (turning to Phoebe) Phoebe, did you know that I'm not afraid of anything? Not the dark, not anything. (pausing for emphasis) Not even pandas.
