The Dreams of a Child

Anna wiggled in her sleep. She always does that when she needs to wake up. It happens once, maybe twice, a night. Like an alarm. Usually I am still awake. Usually it's a signal to me that I need to go to bed now. 
So she woke up and came back to lay beside me. 
I had the tv on  - GAC - a soundtrack to my evening. The climax, the finale...
Dierks Bentley. I Wanna See You Close Your Eyes. 
Anna watched intently (as she always does a tv)
Most of the way through the song, she says: 
Mama, I wanna be that girl. 
So do I, Baby, so do I...
