Several years ago, JOHN returned home from a trip just when a storm hit, with crashing thunder and severe lightning. As he came into the bedroom about 2 a.m., he found his two children in bed with his wife, Patty, apparently scared by the loud storm. He resigned himself to sleep in the guest bedroom that night.
The next day, he talked to the children, and explained that it was okay 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, “Okay.”
After the next trip several weeks later, Patty and the children picked him up in the terminal at the appointed time. Since the plane was late, everyone had come into the terminal to wait for the plane’s arrival, along with hundreds of other folks waiting for their arriving passengers.
As John entered the waiting area, his son saw him, and came running shouting, “Hi, Dad! I’ve got some good news!”
As he waved back, he 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 John, and then searched the rest of the area to see if they could figure out exactly who his mom was!
