I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic 36 ; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe(假装) little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very 37 . She didn’t listen to a 38 I said or do the things she should.” In the 39 I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was 40 she’d been put to sit alone and 41 .
My daughter 42 her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know 43 to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never 44 me do the things that I just have to do. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot 45 . And she doesn’t know how to fold towels. I don’t have the 46 to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play — 47 what I mean?”
And that day I thought a lot about making some 48 in my life, as I listened to her words that 49 me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most 50 . I’d been caught up in responsibilities that increased 51 years.
But now my 52 has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different light through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs(蜘蛛网) 53 the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them 54 .
I’m going to fill the house with 55 of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.

A while ago my family and I went sledding. As I watched my children climbing up the slope, I started 36 .
Many people are 37 that most of today’s social problems are because of the “me ” generation; youngsters are just out for 38 and pay no attention to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 39 there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 40 side to youngsters. I watched my two oldest children 41 my youngest by the hand to help her up the slippery slope each time they 42 . They would have been faster 43 her, but not once did they try to 44 her without helping.
Don’t get me wrong; these children 45 fight among themselves and, on occasion, 46 horribly. But I can take them 47 and know that they won’t ask for anything; I can talk to them about hurricane victims and know that they will 48 to donate some of their own money.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to 49 for many social problems ― not the youngsters who want everything, but the 50 in their lives who have taught them to selfishly think only of themselves. Most adults have been 51 at sometime or another. In this case, they are really cold towards others. 52 , many pass it down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 53 that feeling to continue into adulthood by teaching the 54 my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 55 of bruises(受伤), but we can all make it to the top if we remember to help those who need it.
