This morning Emma told me she had trouble sleeping last night because her bed kept shaking.
"From the storm?" I asked.
"No," she explained. "I dreamed that little things were living underneath my bed, and I think I dreamed them alive a little because when I woke up they started shaking the bed."
I told her that her nightmare sounded really scary, but she quickly set me straight.
"I was awake when the bed was shaking, so I wasn't having a nightmare. And they aren't scary because if they start shaking too hard, I just go to sleep again and that makes them go away. But it's hard to fall asleep when your bed is shaking! That's the trick of it. Those little things are really smart."
