Ever notice how a 4-year-old s voice is louder than 200 adults ? 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 a m I found my two children in bed with my wife Karey apparently scared by the loud storm I resigned myself to sleep 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 Karey 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 son saw me and came running shouting Hi Dad I ve got some good news As I waved back I said loudly What s the good news? Alex shouted Nobody slept with Mommy while you were away this time 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
