In Love, Never Say Never

“Nothing much,” replied Gregory calmly. “I only told her that if she goes to bed now, I will play with her tomorrow right after I come home from school.”

“That’s all,” confirmed Gregory. Without any change in his expression and tone, he continued, “So Mommy, if I can make Audrey sleep early again tomorrow, can I play on the laptop for half an hour more?”

“Okay…” I was still reeling in disbelief that Gregory persuaded his sister with just a simple offer. I gave my consent unknowingly.

“Thank you, Mommy!” Gregory grinned triumphantly. “Good night, Mommy!”
