[ WP ] You wake up to find your 10 year old kid holding a gun to your head .

I woke up to the sweet voice of my child. `` I am only doing this because I love you, Daddy.'' My eyelids have never opened so quickly. It would n't have been such a big deal, except she had a trace of regret in her voice. And I had a gun in my face. 
 
 
 `` Sweetie, It's not okay to play with toy guns like that.'' It's too early for lecturing. It's too early for waking, for that matter. `` No more gun play for at least thirty minutes okay?'' I took the gun from her gently, without much resistence. `` This is going under my pillows for now.'' Too lazy to get up. 
 
 `` Okay, sorry.'' She said sadly. I scooped her up and pulled her close to my chest in a tight hug. 
 
 `` Why would you want to do that to me, anyway?'' I asked Even though I knew it was for play, I found it disconcerting. 
 
 `` Because I love you,'' she said as she hugged me. `` I love you too sweetie, but that's not a good way to show people we love them, you know?'' 
 
 She wiggled out of our hug and looked at me with a confused expression. `` Do n't you remember?'' 
 
 `` Remember what?'' 
 
 `` When I asked you why you did the same thing to Mommy, you said it was because you loved her so much. I just wanted to do the same thing to you, since Mommy is n't here anymore.''
