Nightmares...

Sometimes my kids wake up with nightmares and sometimes, they are actually legimitately scary and sad.  Last night, Kendra's was neither of those.

I awoke to the sounds of her terrified screaming and crying and ran into her bedroom to find out what was going on.  "Kendra!  Are you ok?  Did you have a bad dream?" I asked.

"Yes," she said through her sobs, "we were in the car driving and I asked you for candy and you said, 'No!" More pitiful tears ensued.  It kinda sucks to be the reason for your child's distressing nightmares.  If only she didn't have such a mean mom...
