Taken from
The Joynet
Ever notice how a 4-year-old's voice is louder than
a room full of adult voices?
Several years ago, I returned home from a trip just
when a storm hit with crashing thunder and severe lightning. I
found my two children in bed with my wife, Karey, apparently
scared by the loud storm. I resigned myself to sleep in the
guest bedroom that night.
The next day, I talked to the children, and explained that it
was O.K. to sleep with Mom when the storm was bad, but when I was expected home, please don't sleep with Mom that night. They said OK.
After my next trip several weeks later, Karey and the children
picked me up in the terminal at the appointed time. Since the
plane was late, everyone had come into the terminal to wait
for my plane's arrival, along with hundreds of other folks waiting for their arriving passengers. As I entered the waiting area, my son saw me, and came running shouting "Hi, Dad! I've got some good news!"
As I waved back, I said loudly, "What's the good news?"
"Nobody slept with Mommy while you were away this
time!" Alex shouted.
The airport became very quiet, as everyone in the
waiting area looked at Alex, then turned to me, and
then searched the rest of the area to see if they
could figure out exactly who his Mom was.
