Seven perfect words
November 7th, 2008 by Jennine
My 20 year old daughter, Kait, was describing a nightmare she recently had about the world coming to an end.
In her dream animals were attacking humans, giant comets were falling from the sky and chaos spread over the planet.
She went on and on with the horror of it all.
Kait was visibly upset and the rest of us sat in silence trying to figure out what to say in response. I was trying to think of how to gracefully change the subject. Darren just looked at me wide-eyed and shrugged his shoulders. The boys were just staring at the floor imagining the ugly word picture Kait just painted for us.
That’s when Elly, in a thick sarcastic tone and with rolling eyes, said “Well. Thank God you’re not a psychic!”

“In her dream animals were attacking humans, giant comets were falling from the sky and chaos spread over the planet.”
All right… Obama’s not that bad.

Jeff- LOL thatremainstobeseen. Kait’s dream happened before the election. I think it was brought on by the release of High School Musical 3.
KD- Elly is gifted in stating the obvious. BTW, I love your blog!

The open letter to her son, above and to the right was nice.
