Daddy said to Mom and me, <br />'Good night, I'm going to bed. <br />I'm sleepy and the Sandman <br />has been dancing on my head.' <br /> <br />(I don't think I like this Sandman. <br />Why'd he do that to my dad?) <br />and then I asked my mommy, <br />'Is the Sandman someone bad? ' <br /> <br />Mom smiled and said, 'Don't worry. <br />The Sandman's just pretend.' <br />...but I'll sleep with one eye open <br />just in case he comes again.<br /><br />C.J.
