Seth's List for 04.12.05

Another from Annie:

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 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."
