  Your eight-year-old is unsettllingly well-informed. Perhaps he'd be impressed by Housman's account of Mithridates' anti-poisoning measures.

  He wasn't 'asleep'. He was unconscious due to the effect of certain...err...'chemicals'. - would that fly?

  Listen to a Hendrix solo together, then say "Jimi Hendrix did that too. Do that first, then worry about barfing in your sleep."

  Children's fears often disturb us, but airing them by asking what he'd heard might help you craft a response tailored to his understandings.

  Barfing while sleeping is not dangerous. Barfing while unconscious (as Jimi did) is. Big difference! (Sorry if everybody already knew.)
