jQuery - Move element inside a sibling

Question

I want to move an element to a sibling.

I the example below, I want to move all .i-want-to-be-your-child elements to be inside the sibling .come-to-me.

Original HTML

<div>
  <a href="#" class="come-to-me">Welcome!</a>
  <span class="i-want-to-be-your-child">Thank you!</span>
</div>

<div>
  <a href="#" class="come-to-me">Welcome!</a>
  <span class="i-want-to-be-your-child">Thank you!</span>
</div>

I want the end result to be

<div>
  <a href="#" class="come-to-me">Welcome!<span class="i-want-to-be-your-child">Thank you!</span></a>
</div>

<div>
  <a href="#" class="come-to-me">Welcome!<span class="i-want-to-be-your-child">Thank you!</span></a>
</div>

jQuery

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.i-want-to-be-your-child').detach().appendTo($(sibling('.come-to-me')));
  //$('.i-want-to-be-your-child').appendTo($(this).parent().child('.come-to-me'));
});

What am I doing wrong? What is the best way to achieve this?

You have the syntax somewhat mixed up. Just append it, and it will move

$('.come-to-me').append(function() {
    return $(this).siblings('.i-want-to-be-your-child');
});

  $('.come-to-me').append(function() {
    return $(this).siblings('.i-want-to-be-your-child');
  });

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
  <a href="#" class="come-to-me">Welcome!</a>
  <span class="i-want-to-be-your-child">Thank you!</span>
</div>

<div>
  <a href="#" class="come-to-me">Welcome!</a>
  <span class="i-want-to-be-your-child">Thank you!</span>
</div>
