One evening, fell asleep while reading a book in bed. After an hour or so, he woke up, startled awake by the sound of his infant son crying over the baby monitor. Just as he was about to get up, he begins to hear his wife through the monitor, softly singing the words, "go to sleep" to their baby.
He listens for several moments, smiling as he imagined his wife cooing and cuddling their precious baby boy. It was only after he heard the front door of the house open and his wife returning home with groceries that he realized something was terribly, terribly wrong.
