We Take Turns In Caring

A young mother was sick in bed when her nine-year-old daughter walked in from school.  Thinking her mother was asleep, she quietly unfolded the blanket at the foot of the bed and gently tucked it around her mom.  The mother stirred, then whispered, "It wasn't too long ago that I was tucking you in.  And now you're covering me."

The little girl, bending over her mother, replied, "We take turns."
