Gummy Worm Nightmare

Lucas woke up in my bed this morning (Yeah, I know, I'm a pushover. I've got to start making him stay in his own bed.) Anyway, the first words out of his mouth were, "I WANT A GUMMY WORM TOO!" He was practically crying. I was groggily explaining that I didn't have any gummy worms, but he continued to cry and complain. He said, "You gave Nate a gummy worm, then you threw them in the trash!" I realized this must have been some crazy dream he was having. It took me forever to talk him into realizing that there were no gummy worms in the house, that he had been dreaming, that I had not truly thrown gummy worms away instead of giving one to him. I guess we all have our personal nightmares.
