Sweet Dreams

Mom? What does this word mean: C O U S I N?


Ah, this is a really old word! Long time I haven't heard that. Well, cousin means: The child of your uncle or aunt.


What does aunt and uncle mean?


Sweetie, your aunt is the sister of your mother or your father. And uncle is your mother's or father's brother.


Wow. Never heard these words. Brother and sister is someone who has the same parents, right? I've learned this in school. I just never understood why parents would want to have more than one child. Did they have a second one because the first one went wrong?


Ah, son, you see, these things happened long time ago. More than a century ago people just had more children. I don't know why. Brothers grew up together, often shared the room and toys, sometimes even their clothes. But they played together also and had fun.Would you like to have a brother or sister?


Of course not! I would have to share toys and share the pudding you make for me! I am glad nowadays people are smarter and got only one child. If I want to play I go to the mall, there is a playground. But there I don't have to take my toys! And I do have something like a brother! See?


Sweetie, this is your robot. It's not human, you know that.


I know, mom! It's much cooler! I can turn it off, when I'm done with playing.


Well, you got a point. Now, go to sleep. Good night. Sweet dreams.


Good night, mom.
