Afraid of the dark
[ 2006-04-07 08:34 ]
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 with Daddy."
A long silence was broken at last by a shaken little voice saying, "The big
sissy."
sissy（膽小無用的男人，這里形容“爸爸是個膽小鬼”）
