A Dream
Just before I woke up at 5:30 this morning, I was having a dream. In it, my family was living in the apartment where Hayley, Anthony, and I currently live. This is the first dream I've ever had that has taken place here. My parents were moving out, leaving me and my sister here, but they said that the lease had run out and that we needed to move to the apartment on the second floor (I live on the first floor). I didn't want to move and said that surely we could work something out with the landlord if he was already willing to let us move upstairs, but they would have no part of it. I became extremely agitated, much more angry than I could ever imagine allowing myself to become in front of any other person, and my mom said that was just like me to throw a fit like that. I insisted on a real explanation, and they said that my sister had snuck out the window the night before and they figured that if she lived on the second floor, she wouldn't be able to sneak out like that. That was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard, and I was saying so as I woke up.As strange as that dream was, no dream could possibly outpace the weirdness of a lovely young lady sitting in a custom-made refrigerator to have a likeness of her head carved out of butter.
