Last night while Dillon was supposed to be trying to fall asleep:
D: Mommy are dust mites real?
Me: Yes.
D: Do they really eat dead skin?
Me: Yes. But they are really tiny and you'll never know if you squash one, so they can't hurt you. You probably squash millions of them a day and never know it. Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?
D: Oh. Somebody on t.v. was talking about bed bugs.
Me: Son, you don't have bed bugs. There are no bed bugs in your house. If a bug gets in the house, we will kill it and/or spray some Raid.
D: Do they bite?
Me: I promise you that a bed bug is NOT going to bite you in your sleep. As a matter of fact, no bugs are going to get you. I promise. If a bug gets near you I will squash it. OK? Go to sleep, nothing is going to get you.
D: Well geesh, I've lived long enough to know THAT!
