HEARTS OF HOPE
Age Five
“Mommy?”
I peered through the crack in the open door. The room was dark.
I wasn’t scared of the dark, but I was scared of what it meant.
Mommy only liked it dark when she was sleeping or did the Bad Stuff,
and since it wasn’t morning time anymore, it probably meant she had done
the Bad Stuff.
But maybe not. Maybe she was sick. Billy’s tummy hadn’t felt good
when I saw him a couple days ago, so maybe her tummy didn’t feel good too.
“Mommy?”
I walked slowly inside to see her on the bed and giggled because she
looked so silly. Her jammie shirt was on backward, and she had forgotten to
put on her pants.
“Mommy, I see your undies,” I whispered, still giggling wildly. “I can see
your butt.”
She snorted against her pillow. She sounded like a piggy, and I giggled
again before making a piggy sound too.
“Soldier?”
Uh-oh.
Gramma was coming up the stairs, and she was going to be mad if she
saw Mommy sleeping when it wasn’t morning time anymore.
I hurried out of the room and saw Gramma. She smiled big at me and
raced for me super fast to pick me up and swing me around.
“What are you doing up here? Did you find Mommy?” she asked.
I nodded and wrapped my arms around Gramma’s neck. “Mommy’s
sleeping.”
Gramma didn’t like that. Her face got liney and mad, like the time when I
had dropped The Lion King into her fishbowl.
“Mommy’s sleeping, huh? Maybe we should wake her up, don’t you
think?”
I thought real hard about that.
If Mommy was sleeping because she had done the Bad Stuff, then
Gramma would yell. She would tell Grampa, and he would yell, too, and
Mommy would yell back, and I would have to hide because I didn’t like it
when they yelled.
But if Mommy was sleeping because her tummy didn’t feel good, she
should stay sleeping because sleep made you better when you didn’t feel
good.
So, I shook my head.
“No,” I said, tapping Gramma’s nose. “Mommy’s tummy doesn’t feel
good.”
“Oh, it doesn’t, huh?”
I bobbed my head real fast. “Uh-huh. Billy’s tummy didn’t feel good
when I was at his house. His mommy said he maybe caught a bug, so I think
Mommy caught Billy’s bug too.”
Gramma’s face wasn’t liney anymore. Now, she looked sad, like she
wanted to cry, and I didn’t think I liked that.
I poked at her lips and tried to make her smile again.
“Mommy caught a bug all right,” Gramma muttered in a quiet voice, and
I was happy because I was right.
Then, she really did smile, and I felt good again. Because I’d made it
happen.
