There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it (Chinese Proverb)Already 2 months my daughter loves to use the word “forever” in a lot of different situation.
“Mommy, I like this chair. I want to sit on it… forever!”
“Nyummy… this chicken is delicious. I want to eat it… forever!”
“I like red. I like red. I like red… forever!”
“I don’t want to study.”
“Hey, if you don’t study, you’ll fail in exam and can’t go to higher class.”
“I don’t care. I like my classmates. I like my class. I want to be in it… forever!”
“Ok, your friends who study will pass the exam and you can’t go to higher class with them because you don’t study and fail in the exam. So?”
……………………..
“Ok, then I will study… forever!”
When I had to bring my Dad to doctor and couldn’t bring her along, she’ld stick to me like a koala and screamed, “Mommy, you can’t leave me, you have to bring me... forever! I want to be with you… forever!”
In another time, when she was not happy with me, she’ld say, “I don’t want to be with you… forever!” and I would say, “Be careful with what you wish, young lady!” And she’ld revise it, “I… I want to be with you… forever... if only you don't scold me... forever!”
Then one night… We were laying in bed, preparing to sleep. As usual, we chat, just two of us, in the darkness with only one little pink light. We tickled, hugh, and finally said good night, “Love you, Bunny!” I kissed her forehead and cheek. She turned her back on me, no respond, no voice, just silent. I waited for her respond and heard nothing. I thought she was tired and fall asleep very quickly. So I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I didn’t know how long this silence had been but suddenly I felt a very touching whisper came from the little lip bes
ide me, "I LOVE YOU, MOMMY... FOREVER!!"
I turned to her and there she was, looking at me, smiling. “That is the nicest 'forever' that Mommy heard. I love you FOREVER, too, Darling!” We hughed each other tightly… forever!!
