Yesterday, I got a cute beautiful box with a tiny handle which was used for carrying the jewellery. The box was from my colleague and I took it before throwing it into the dustbin. And I said that my daughter would be sure to like it. There was a pair of models painted on the pink surface and showing their love to each other.
After work, I gave the box to my husband and bought two packages of fruit flavour soft candy. I put them in the box and told to my husband that you gave the box to our child and said it was dad’s gift today. My husband was an architecture and almost two third of his time was outside all over the country. I wanted him to do something to show his concern to my daughter this time coming home without time to prepare a gift.
After getting back, my daughter got rid of the candy in just several minutes. When we were having dinner around the table, my daughter said to us,” We can use the box to hold the crushed chicken bones.” That was right. We had chicken this evening and a box holding the waste temporally after the meal was not bad. But I was a little unhappy to hear that. I asked,” Hey, it is your dad’s gift for you. How could you take it as a dustbin? What a beautiful box it is?” She put down her bowl and came towards to me. “It’s not daddy’s gift. He cheats on me. ” I was a little surprised. “Why do you say that?”
My daughter replied,” It is so obvious that the box and the candy don’t match so well. They are not the same package.” I can saw the face changing of my husband and what should he feel this moment.
Although my daughter is four years old, she knows a lot and has already formed her way of think. She starts to use her head and always question my answers.
For parents like me, we should treat our kids more serious. Don’t take for granted that our kid is always those who we think to be. Tricks may work out one time or twice, but be careful of the third time.
