I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic 1 ; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even 2 it was a pretense.
She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very 3 . She didn’t listen to a 4 I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was 5 she’d been put there to sit alone and 6 .
My daughter 7 her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never 8 me do the things that I just have to do.
She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot 9 . And she doesn’t know 10 to fold towels. I don’t have the 11 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— 12 what I mean?”

But now my 16 has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different 17 through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs(蜘蛛网) 18 the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them 19 .
I’m going to fill the house with 20 of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.
