text:  But I'll be honest with you, I don't like dark. I don't like it at all. That's why if I hear a noise at 3 in the morning, I say, Mary, go down and check that out, will you? No, I got to go check it out. You know, when you're the dad, it's your job. But if I got to go check out a noise, I want to know if Rachel left her skates in the hall. If it's dark, I can't see what's there. I might slip. If I'm downstairs, maybe John left his bat.
