Camping Joke Of The Day
One summer evening
during a violent thunderstorm a mother was
tucking her small boy into his sleeping bag. She
was about to turn off the lantern 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 tent."
A long silence was broken at last by his shaking
little voice: "The big sissy."
