Mommy Magic

My wife and I had just finished tucking our five young ones into bed oneevening when we heard sobbing coming from three- year-old Billy's room.Rushing to his side, we found him crying hysterically. He had accidentallyswallowed a penny and was sure he was going to die. No amount of talkingcould change his mind.Desperate to calm him, my wife palmed a penny that she happened to havein her pocket and pretended to pull it from Billy's ear. Billy wasdelighted. In a flash, he snatched it from my wife's hand, swallowed itand demanded cheerfully, "Do it again, mum!"  ¶ 10:48 AM
