A Mother Was Tucking Her Small Boy Into Bed.

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.”
