Some kids are afraid of monsters that hide under the bed. Or await in the basement.
Aisling is afraid of aliens, and apparently they live in our house - on the stairs, in the basement, in the spare room.
Aliens, or "a-leens" as she pronounces them, have become frequent guests at our home ever since Buzz Lightyear has enjoyed renewed popularity, thanks to Toy Story 3. On preparation for the new movie, the kids have been watching Toy Story 1 and 2, and the Buzz Lightyear movies. Devlin gets dressed up in the Buzz Lightyear costume, and Aisling puts on the Woody outfit. They both fight the various evil forces, while Ceilidh rides around the horse as Jessie.
If you ask Aisling to retrieve her bottle or soother or toy, she refuses, citing "a-leens". She points and declares there are "a-leens" so she can't. It's more creative than a simple "no", I guess.
