In the dark of the night, Cola suddenly started crying in the bed next to me.
"What's wrong, Cola? Are you all right?"
Cola continue to cry even louder. I sat up, and gave him a hug. "Did you have a bad dream?"
Cola mumbled, "Yes. I dreamt."
"Silly piggy. What did you dream about?"
Cola couldn't find the words. "Cola dreamt... Cola dreamt... a shark."
"A shark? What is the shark doing?"
"The shark is eating Cola ah."
"It's ok. Come over to Mami's side, I'll sleep with you."
After a little while, the single bed seemed really crowded, with a toddler and a 8-month baby bump.
I suggested, "Now could you want to go back to your own bed?"
Cola refused. "No there's sharks on that bed."
"Well, how about Mami going on that bed? Shall I let the sharks eat me instead?"
"Yes, let the sharks eat Mami."
Right, my son has just sacrified me to the gods of nightmares.
