"No, Emma, I don't know." I replied thinking about all the bad dreams she has had in the past.
"It would be scary if you were a worm and a bird came to eat you in your dreams. That would be a nightmare. If you were that worm you would have to dig DEEP to stay away from those birds or if it was fishing season."
I stopped, stuttered, and then said, "Yep, that would be scary. I'm glad I'm not a worm."
We both agreed it was a good thing we are people and not worms.

Oh, I just love this stage when their imaginations are so vivid. Good for you, taking the time to really listen to what she's saying! I've been guilty of doing the 'mmm-hmmmm' thing. What book are you reading?! :)
the gears in her head make ME feel tired...she must be exhausted after a day of thinking her thoughts!
