My mother often said to me, “Don’t sit on Grandpa’s lap.” I never understood why. One day I ignored him and sat down anyway. Grandpa smiled, walked up to my ear and whispered, “Can you come to sleep next to me tonight? 

But it was too late. Grandpa put a hand on my shoulder, leaned towards me and whispered very short:

Otolaryngology
“Can you come to sleep by my side tonight?”

I was paralyzed.

“What?”

Pregnancy and Maternity
He just smiled.

“You don’t tell anyone yet. Especially your mother.”

At that very moment, Mom returned to the room.

“What did he tell you?”

Dictionaries and encyclopedias
“Nothing.”

I don’t know why I lied. But on the way back home I could no longer keep it to myself.
