The big sissy

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 in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:
 "The big sissy."
