I had a dream the other night that was very odd.
In the dream, I was the mother of three kids – at least two of them were boys. The youngest boy was around 7 years old and his brother was 12-ish. I had to go run some sort of important errand and since I was only going to be gone for a few minutes, I asked the 12yr old to keep an eye on his brother. I don’t know where the third child was – but (s)he was older than the 12yr old, just for context. When I got back, the 12yr old told me that the 7yr old ** had gone to the bathroom, pooped, and then spread it all over the walls of his room. I yelled at the 12yr old because he wasn’t watching his brother and then went and talked to the 7yr old. When I asked him why he did that, he told me he was mad at his Dad and getting back at him. I asked him why he’d do that in my house if he was mad at his Dad, and then the dream shifted.
The next thing I know, the kids are all at their father’s house because it’s his weekend to have them. I was happy because I’d get to relax. I went to bed early and was going to read and watch a movie. I was drinking a glass of orange Crush. *** Since there weren’t any side tables, I set it at the bottom of the bed on the floor. But then the covers pooled up at the bottom of the bed and slid off, knocking the soda over. I was on my way to go get a carpet spot thing (like that new one they’re advertising that is a little pod of cleaner with a brush on it) and worrying if it would get the orange out when I woke up.
I have no idea what that’s about. It must have been someone else’s dream. Anybody claiming it?
* – Have at, it makes no sense to me.
** – I don’t remember anybody using names or I’d use them…
*** – I don’t even drink that stuff in real life and I don’t know why it suddenly appeared.
