| Words: 241 "Mom, Mom!" Little Jimmy started yelling as soon as he disembarked from the school bus. His mother, Nancy, getting his snack ready in the kitchen, thought something had happened to her son and rushed to the gate. "You're all right!" she cried in relief. The bus driver called out from behind the wheel, "I don't know why he shouted, Ma'am. He's okay," and started up the bus again. But little Jimmy didn't look happy. "It's terrible, Mom," he said. "What is, darling?" Nancy took him by the hand and led him inside. "A doctor came to visit the first grade today, to talk to us. He said smoking is very bad for the lungs. He said anyone who smokes a cigarette dies faster. Is Daddy going to die?" They were in the kitchen and Nancy held him while he washed his hands and sat down to his potato salad. She wondered how to handle this. For a while, Jimmy ate. Then he asked again, "Is Daddy going to die?" Nancy took her smartphone from her pocket and dialed her husband. "Hi Honey, your son has a question for you." She put the phone on speaker. "Ask away, son." "Daddy, the doctor says if you smoke, you're going to die faster. Are you going to die?" There was a pause. Then his Dad's voice came through clearly. "No, son. I'm not going to die because I'm not going to smoke any more." |
