Ever notice how a
4-year-old's voice is louder than 200 adult
voices?
Several years ago, I
returned home from a trip just when a storm
hit, with crashing
thunder and severe lightning.
As I came into my
bedroom about 2 a.m., 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?"
Alex shouted,
"Nobody slept
with Mommy while you were away this time!"
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.
Kids will always be kids!
