Dana is a source of une\u00adnend\u00ading amaze\u00adment to me. This morn\u00ading when she woke up we had the fol\u00adlow\u00ading con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion:<\/p>\n
\nMe: \u201cDana, did you have any dreams last night?\u201d
\nDana (in a lit\u00adtle 19-month-old just-woke-up voice): \u201cDream?\u201d
\nMe: \u201cDreams are the pic\u00adtures you see when you\u2019re sleep\u00ading and your eyes are closed.\u201d
\nDana: \u201cGoose.\u201d
\nMe: \u201cYou had a dream about a goose?\u201d
\nDana: \u201cYa.\u201d
\nMe: \u201cWhat did the goose do in your dream?\u201d
\nDana: \u201cHonk honk.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI was melt\u00ading. <\/p>\n
I had been try\u00ading to get her to under\u00adstand the con\u00adcept of dreams off and on for a few weeks now, and while she\u2019s always seemed inter\u00adest\u00aded she\u2019s nev\u00ader actu\u00adal\u00adly answered my ques\u00adtion with any\u00adthing oth\u00ader than \u201cya\u201d.<\/p>\n
In case you\u2019re skep\u00adti\u00adcal, I\u2019m pret\u00adty sure she under\u00adstood my ques\u00adtion and did actu\u00adal\u00adly have a dream about a goose. She has\u00adn\u2019t seen a goose in weeks (not even in her pic\u00adture books). If one was on her mind it arrived there some\u00adhow oth\u00ader than a recent real-world expe\u00adri\u00adence.<\/p>\n
Besides which, she told mom\u00admy the same sto\u00adry, \u201cDream. Goose. Honk honk.\u201d when we went to get mom\u00admy up a few min\u00adutes lat\u00ader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
