...Betsy wasn't nervous by nature. In the daytime, she'd have tackled a tiger. But at night her vivid imagination turned every groan of the woodwork into a prowler, every whistle of the wind into a fire engine.The ad says a bedroom extension costs only $1.25 a month, plus tax and a small installation charge. Or, if you wanted you could get the Princess phone which glows in the dark, lights up, and comes in 5 colors for only $2 a month.
Then a friend suggested I get her a bedside phone. He said it gave his wife a "sense of security" -- feeling that she was just a reach away from friends, doctors, firemen, police, even the FBI and National Guard.

Lights up and comes in five colors!? Sign me up!
