Dreamin

11 p.m.

WHAAA!!

sniffle, sniffle, wail.

"Ray, what's wrong hun? Did you have a bad dream?"

"You scared me."

"What sweetie? What scared you? Did you have a bad dream?"

"Ummm, yeah. I just want to go to my party."

"You already went to the party - this afternoon."

Blink. Blink.

"OK."

Quick sip of water.

"Good night sweetie. I love you."

"I love you too mommy. I'll see you in the morning."

And...
