Timing

I didn't get home from a trip until 2 a.m. on the night of a terrific storm. I found my kids asleep with my wife, scared by the storm. I resigned myself to sleeping in the guest bedroom.

The next morning I talked to the kids and told them it was OK to sleep with mom during a storm, but when I was due home, please
don't.

A few weeks later my wife and the kids picked me up at the airport. My son came running into my arms and very loudly so ALL of the other deplaning passengers could hear, "Dad -- GOOD news! NO ONE slept with Mommy while you were away THIS time!"
