One
summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking
her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when
he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep
with me tonight?"
The
mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear,"
she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room."
A long
silence was broken at last by a shaken little voice saying, "The
big sissy." |
