The things kids say 童言无忌

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."
 
Along silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice: "The big sissy."
 
 一个夏季的晚上,雷雨大作,母亲让小男孩上床钻进被窝。她正准备熄灯,孩子声音颤抖地问:“妈咪,你今晚可以陪我睡吗?”
 
母亲笑着,拥抱一下小孩安慰说,“亲爱的,不可以。我得睡在爸爸的房间。”一阵长长的沉默之后,男孩小声地用颤音说:“重色轻友。”
