Lauren (from her bed): Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mom (stumbling through the door): What's going on Lauren? Lauren (pointing to pillow): Come see him! Mom: Who's on your pillow? Lauren: Can't you see him? He's inside my pillow. Mom: I think it was just a dream, Lauren. There's nothing in your pillow. Lauren (pointing behind Mom): And look! An orange one on the chair!! Mom (nervously): Yeah, well let's just go back to sleep for a bit. 10:45 AM Lauren: Mommy, can we go upstairs and look in my pillow? Mom: What's in your pillow? Lauren: The orange crabs and the fish with five things and the crabs with their houses and the crabs. There's orange ones. Five of them. Mom (after thoroughly inspecting the pillow with Lauren): See, there are no crabs in your pillow. We left them at the Science Center where they live. It was just a dream. 6:02 PM (Dad walks in the door) Lauren: Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Do you want to see my dream in my pillow?
