"The Good News"
Ever notice how a 4 year olds 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 AM, I found my
two children in bed with my wife, Karen,
apparently scared by the loud storm. I
resigned myself to sleeping in the guest
bedroom that night.
The next day, I talked to the children, and
explained that it was OK 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,
Karen 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 4 year
old son saw me, and came running
shouting, "Hi, Dad! I've got some good
news!"
As I waved back, I said loudly, "What is
the good news?"
"The good news is that 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....
