trucks and he wanted one too, too, like a big truck with a loud horn on the side. He did nothing. He just wanted his pillow. He wished Mommy would come back and hug her. Mommy came into Tommy and smiled too when she was sleepy. But when he got to bed he was still sad and he felt bad too. He did something wrong and he did something wrong. " Tommy, why don ' t I sleep with you?" Mom asked him. She was not happy. " You can play with your truck and your doll, or read your stories. They will be happy in your sleep and we can have more adventures." Tommy thought about what Mommy said. She felt a tickle and she was surprised. She didn ' t know why she did it. " Maybe it ' s okay. But you have to listen and follow the rules. You can play with your truck and my doll, but not too much," Mommy suggested in a softer voice that she would be grumpy too if Tommy didn like it or too. She was firm. Tommy nodded. He didn like Mommy. But he liked her more. And she liked him more too. She was not grumpy anymore and he was happy. She hugged Tommy and thanked Mommy for the pillow, and then she kissed him and said goodnight to the bed and her teddy. " Good night, my sweetie," Mommy whispered. " I love you." She kissed Tommy and turned off her light and left the door open. Tommy fell asleep with a smile.
