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
his shaky little voice: "The big sissy."
