I ran into a stranger as he passed by.“ Oh,excuse me,please.” I said.He said,“Please excuse me,too.” We were very polite to each other.We went on our ways and we said good-bye.
But when we were at home,it was a different story.
Later that day,when I was cooking the evening meal,my daughter stood too close to me.When I turned,I nearly knock her down.“ Move out of the way.” I shouted angrily.She walked out .I didn’t realize how much my words hurt her.
While I lay awake in bed that evening,my husband said to me:“While dealing with a stranger,you were polite,but with the daughter you love,you were unkind.Go look on the kitchen floor,you will find some flowers there by the door.Those are the flowers she brought for you.She picked them herself.She stood quietly not to ruin the surprise,and you never saw the tears in her eyes.
By this time,my tears began to fall.I quietly went and knelt down by her bed.“Wake up,little girl,” I said,“ Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She said,“ Yes,I picked them because they are pretty like you.I knew you’d like them.” I said:“Daughter,I am really sorry for the way I acted today.I shouldn’t have shouted at you that way.” She said:“ Oh,Mom,that’s okay.I love you anyway.” I said:“ Daughter,I love you too,and I do like the flowers.Thank you very much.”
