This (paraphrased) conversation just happened over the monitor:
Me: Why were you out of bed?
Madelyn: Because I had a bad dream.
Me: You had a bad dream already?
Madelyn: Yeah....
Me: What was it about?
Madelyn: It was about that there was an elephant at the door.
Me: There was an elephant at the door?
Madelyn: Yeah.
Me: Was it at your bedroom door or the front door.
Madelyn: It was at the front door and I got spooked.
Me: Well, I think an elephant is too big to get into the house.
Madelyn: It was a baby elephant.
Me: I haven't seen any roaming elephants around here lately. I think we're safe.
Madelyn: Maybe you could do a spell to keep them away.
Me: Abracadabra. Abrakazam. All of the elephants run away and scram!
Madelyn: Thanks, Mommy.
Me: You're welcome. Good night.
Madelyn: Good night.
Me: Love ya.
Madelyn: Love ya too.
(Before bed, we always say a spell to keep the monsters away. Just replace "elephants" above with "monsters".)
