At about 4:00 this morning Isak came into our bedroom cyring.  He'd had a nightmare.  Typically when he has a bad dream he will come tell us, and maybe cry a little bit, but is easily calmed and will go back to bed.
This nightmare was different.  He was near hysterics - crying, shaking and absolutely refusing to go back to his bed.  I let him climb into bed with us and tried to comfort him.  He calmed down a bit and after several minutes said, "Mom, do you know what a whiner is?"
"Yes"
"What is it?"
"A person who whines a lot."  And, being confused about the randomness of this conversation asked, "Why?"
"Because there was a whiner in my nightmare.  It was coming after me!"  And then he burst into tears again.
So there you go.  Whiners are SCARY!
