Taking Turns

It's two AM. You're fast alseep and it's dark outside, and inside the quiet house. Suddenly, the silence is tragically broken with the wimpering whine and the subsequent wail of a baby waking up.

You think you are dreaming, but it gets louder and stronger, and your sleep gets weaker. You begin to think, oh, the neighbors! They are so loud. Then you realize, 'I'm a mother!' That's mine! Time to get up and go soothe him.

"It's your turn, Honey!"

"Wah?" responds your husband, pretending to sleep. "I went last time!" Isn't it your turn, Sweety?" I have to get in a few hours to go to the office. Pleaaaaaaaaase!"

So you drag yourself out of the bed. You stagger to the baby's crib. You look at him in the moonlight, and suddenly you realize why you are alive. 'Yeah! It's my turn' you think, 'I get to see you, and I love you!'
