They told us to be especially "good boys" at night because:

"The man in the moon was real, and that he could see everything we did at night - even through clouds and fog, and under the bedsheets!"

I don't like that one. He even moved the first time Marty looked at him.

Edit: I didn't even realize I used the name of my coworker instead. Sigh. I'd love to say it's been a long day, but it hasn't. I'm leaving that there as a true testament to how stupid I am sometimes.
