I featured in my four year old brother's dream last night. Our conversation about it went something like this:

"I had a dream you and me were gonna be eaten by a House Monster," he said, leaning on my lap and meeting my gaze solemnly.

"Oh, really? Did we survive?"

"Yep."

Sensing there was more of a story than 'yep', I pressed for details. "What do house monsters look like? Like houses? Or they live in houses, and eat people?"

"No, they live in caves, and they eat caves and people."

Well then. "How did we get out?"

"I shrank myself with my shrinking powers —"

"Like Antman!" the six year old chimed in.

"— yeah, I shrank myself bigger and bigger and bigger!" He stretched up as tall as he could, showing me.

The uncanny thing is, neither of them are really old enough to remember Civil War, and how to a teenybopper's mind Antman really did 'shrink' himself bigger.

"And what happened to me, how did I get out?" I continued, half-expecting an 'oh, you died,' from his imaginative majesty.

"I shrank you from green to blue with my shrinking-powers," he answered quietly.
