The Favour

Our city hosted the Canadian Women's Open this past week. I volunteered as part of the team and ended up being a walking scorer all week. With Mamma working for most of the weekend, the Boy spent Friday and Saturday night with his grandparents in the Annapolis Valley.  It's not his first sleepover and he was doing very good until Saturday evening when I called to see how his day was, tell him goodnight and I love you.

Boy: Daddy, are you sad?

Me: A little bit, because I miss you.

Boy: Can I do you a favour?

Me: What's that?

Boy: You go into my room and get one of my grr-animals (stuffed toys), either Teddy or Pierre, and you can sleep with them and then it will feel like you're sleeping next to me.
