Dreaming

Sometimes kids ask you questions you just don't know how to answer.  Amelia decided to drop one of these in the car the other day when she said "Daddy, how do you know we aren't just living in someone else's dream?" The only thing I could think to say aside from "Uhhhhhhh" was "because no crazy dreamlike things happen" and "it doesn't matter because we would never know anyways".  She thought about it for a second and then replied "What if they wake up?!?".  So, there you have it. My daughter has decided sickness or death isn't enough to worry about, but that we should be concerned that the imaginary person who is dreaming us is going to wake up any minute.
