Breaking my one paragraph rule on this one and so not keeping the title like the others. I had a very strange dream, a crazy one as my title says. On my first day of work as an au pair, I let the baby injest toxins. Normally, this would be rather unsettling to wake up to, but there are so many reasons why I know nothing like this will happen in real life.
First of all, the family assured me that on my first day as an au pair, I’d be sleeping off jet lag. They also don’t have any infants—certainly none that can fit in the palm of my hand. The reason this happened in the dream was because I left the house to go to a winery… where I ran into my French parents! I left the kids with my Grammie (who will not be accompanying me to France) in the garden, by the lake with the really cool-ass frogs, without telling her the baby was in the greenhouse. No, this would not really happen. I don’t even think the family has cool lake frogs.
I came back, and the babe had googly eyes and had a bunch of blue stuff in his mouth. I gave him the heimlich. The dream doesn’t really tell me his fate, but instead of being fired, I napped on a really uncomfortable sofa pad with his mother. It was green. I guess I’m a little wigged still, yet I can’t help but think the dream has more to do with having recently watched Mermaids and The Bicycle Thief than anxiety over keeping childrens alive.
