How to Make a Mama Cry

Scene: John is playing with plastic dinosaurs and sees Mama lay down on the sofa and cover her eyes.

John: "Mama, why are you laying down?"

Katherine: "I have a headache, honey."

John: "Why?"

Katherine: "I don't know. Would you kiss my forehead?"

John: "Sure!" Runs over and kisses Mama's forehead. "I'm going to pray now." Ever the private boy, John goes a few feet away, turns away from Mama, and kneels. "Dear God, please help Mama with her headache to feel better." Runs back to Mama. "I prayed to your guardian angel. And this dinosaur stands on his hind legs. Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Mama's eyes get all misty.
