scared of the thunderstorm

[ghostxdreams2 1,488]

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."
