DADDY'S ROOM

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, I'm scared.  Would you sleep with me tonight?''

His 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 his little voice:  ''The big sissy!''


Cheers,
