That night I had a dream again. But it wasn't a typical dream that I had before. It wasn't Leo and Winona living in the 90s. I couldn't remember what happened there but I remember one thing: it was scary as hell. That's why I woke up with dried tears on my face.

It was Sunday so me and my family stayed at home. I came downstairs to have a breakfast. Actually, I was ready to see my parents' happy faces but they were serious.

-hey,- my mum said,- how was your night?
-it's okay...
-umm.. I hope you'll like my waffles.

She looked at me and smiled. But not happily. she looked at me as if she were to blame. in something that I do not know or do not want to know.

I sat to my place and started eating my waffles with chocolate syrup. To be honest my mum didn't cook waffles very often. I mean, she didn't cook it at all. Shit. If my mum did something she has never did before that means that we have a serious conversation- i thought.

My father started our conversation. At first, he looked at my mother and with his own eyes, without a word, asked her where to start. she looked at him trustingly and shook her head, as if saying "it's okay. she will understand everything. "

-okay, Janet. I know you're not a little girl anymore so I think that we should start with the main,- my father said.
-okay, I'm ready.
-but please...
-tell us the truth,- my mum continued.
-wait. Can I ask you a question?- I asked.
-yes. But please, don't leave the topic of our conversation.
-I think I know what you will tell me. Yesterday dad told me that he had these dreams too, when he was 23. And when he said that, I looked at him and I realized that he definitely looks like Leonardo DiCaprio. But I thought that I just imagined that so I didn't pay much attention to it. And now... I think I'm going crazy. I mean,- I took a cup of coffee and sipped a little,- I know what you're going to do with me. And I know that in 90s there were not hospitals with such effective technologies like nowadays so that's why you, dad, wasn't in the psycho hospital. But now... you're going to take me to the hospital because I'm a psycho, right? But I won't let you do that. I'm almost 18 and I have my own right to...
-no. Well, that wasn't a question and you are wrong. We're not going to take you to the psychiatric hospital,- when my mum said that, I immediately felt better. As if a heavy load had been removed from my shoulders, which did not allow me to breathe.
-so what are you going to tell and do with me?
-okay, listen. I had such dreams when I was 23. And I really thought that I'm going out of my mind. Actually, it's really rare for people to see such dreams.... did you see your idols? Leonardo DiCaprio and Winona Ryder?
-yes... but how did you know that?
-know- what?
-what I saw. And who are my idols.

My mum smiled. She had nervous smile but she tried to look like she was calm.

-because...
-we're your idols.
