The Perfect Dream

For a long time, Amelia wouldn't tell me her dreams because she thought they wouldn't come true if she told them.   She'd just say, "I had a willy good dweam last night.  But I can't tell you.  It's a seekwet."

This morning she woke up and said, "I had the best dream last night.  We were in a candy store and I found a $100 and a few pennies, and I showed them to you and you said I could buy candy.  So I bought a huge lollipop and when I finished eating it I handed the stick to Maddie and she said, "Can I eat it?" because even the stick was candy, and I said, "No.  You can hold it while I wash my hands."  So I washed my hands and then I ate the lollipop stick, and then I had another huge lollipop, and it went on and on and on until I threw up."  

I don't think she'd ever even had one of those huge lollipops.   So today  when I was walking around Pike's Place with Pam and Rex, we saw a candy store selling them, and I decided to bring a couple home for the girls.  

Amelia was disappointed that Maddie got one too (because it didn't happen that way in her dream).  And it was a bummer that the stick wasn't candy either.
