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.”
