They told me to draw the scariest place I had ever been,
When the teacher came to ask me why I drew my bed. I responded like this:
"When I'm in my bed I go to sleep and when I go to sleep I dream,
I don't like to dream because when I wake up my dreams are forgotten and reality is too real."
The teacher said I didn't understand the task I told the teacher he didn't understand innocence,
He sent me to the office.

It's my own spin on John Lennon's "When I Grow Up I Want To Be Happy" quote.
