Esther Cohen was the mother of three, very active small boys. One
summer evening she was playing cops and robbers with them in the
back yard after dinner.

One of the boys "shot" his mother and yelled, "Bang! You're dead."
She slumped to the ground and when she didn't get up for 20
minutes, a neighbor came over to see if she had been hurt in the
fall.

When the neighbor bent over, the overworked mother opened one eye
and said, "Shhh. Don't give me away. This is the only chance I've
had to rest all day."
