One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking
her son 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 cant dear, she said. I have to sleep in Daddys room.
A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:
The big sissy.
