"Thunderstorm"

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 with Daddy."

A long silence was broken at last by a
shaken little voice saying,

"The big sissy."
