You find yourself in a bad dream... you have been abducted by aliens and they are poking and prodding you looking for a place to put their space probe. Just then you are jolted awake by a shot to the kidneys, crotch or some other sensitive area. Oh, it's not a bad dream, just a four year old... or two... or three:)
