Mom, It Hurts!

Mom, It Hurts! “ Time for bed! ” said Mom. Jacob kicked off his blankets. “ Mom, my foot hurts! ” said Jacob. Mom kissed his foot and sang a magic song. Jacob went to sleep. The next night, when Jacob's mom told him to go to bed, Jacob said, " I have a tummy ache. "

The night after that, he said that his head hurt. Finally, Mom said, " Enough! Bed-time is bedtime. Stop this silly game! " But Jacob didn't want to stop. " My shoulder hurts! My knee hurts! " Mom switched off the bedroom light and said, " Go to sleep! " The next night, Jacob had a toothache—a REAL toothache. So, when it was time for bed again, he cried, “ My tooth hurts! ” Mom smiled at him and closed the door. Jacob cried, but his mom didn't care. She didn't seem to believe him, Then, all of a sudden, the door opened. There was Jacob's mom with a bottle of medicine. “ Take some of this, " she said. " It will make your tooth feel better. ” Jacob looked at Mom in surprise and thought, " Wow! Mom knows everything! "
