"Sister's mom and dad went on vacation today and won't be back tonight, so you're going to sleep with sister!"
Oliver Thompson took the opportunity to kick his son away from his woman's side when he heard him say he wanted to be nice to his sister.
Roy glanced at his dad, seemingly understanding, and nodded gently. After a moment, he said earnestly, "But dad, I'm supposed to sleep with mom at night!"
Sleeping with his sister was a good idea, because he adored his sister, but it seemed that his mom also wanted him to sleep with her.
Several times, he had heard his mom calling out in her dreams not to take him away, and she had been frightened awake. Naturally, he was worried that his mom would have nightmares if she slept alone. So, he stared at Oliver with those deep, serene black eyes and said very seriously, "Mom will be afraid if she sleeps alone!"
