It's bedtime. My little Luke and I are snuggled together reading a family classic. "Corduroy" is a story about a little stuffed bear that sat on a department store shelf waiting to be adopted. The little bear had lost a button to his overalls making him less appealing to would-be child shoppers. The beginning of the book is a little sad and I looked at Luke - trying to read his face while reading the words.

He sat up and said, "Mommy, this part is really sad."

"I know Luke - it is sad."

"Don't worry Mommy. I will cover your ears so you won't hear."

He leaned over and placed his little fingers inside my ears while I continued reading.

"Almost over Mommy. Keep reading."

Trying desperately not to giggle, he continued to protect his Mommy from the sad parts and finally released his hold once a little girl spots Corduroy and decides to take him home.

A great ending for both Corduroy and me!
