As I was getting ready this morning, I overheard my son say to his sister, "I'm going to tell everyone at school that you still have nightmares!"

I'm thinking, "That’s supposed to be an insult? Does this kid think that nightmares are for babies or something?"

So, I walk out and I inform him, "I have nightmares... Nightmares aren't just for babies." And I realize the absurdity in what's coming from my mouth.

"Oh, and by the way," I say, "Do NOT go to school and bad-mouth each other!"
