Ellie came from bed one day this week when she was supposed to be asleep. "I had a bad dream."

I asked her if she wanted to sit on my lap for a few minutes while I read some web pages, and she was OK with that. I said, "Yeah, bad dreams happen sometimes."

She told me very matter-of-fact, "Sometimes they don't get caught in your dream catcher."

Indeed.
