Brotherhood

As I was putting Quinn to sleep in the guest bedroom tonight, he began to look sad.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"I miss Colby." he replied. I knew that he has spent nearly every waking moment of the past 4 years of his young life with his brother, not to mention the 7 1/2 months of close quarters in the womb, and had seen the boy not more than 1 minute ago. How could he possibly MISS him?

"Would you like to go upstairs and see him?"

"Yes"

"So you want to fall asleep in your own bed?"

"Ohhh. No. I'll stay here."

So much for missing his brother. He went right to sleep without another word.
