I have offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was getting some work done in my study while she was having a good time in the other room. No problem, I figured. But then it got a little too quiet and I shouted, “What are you doing?” No reply. I repeated my question and heard her say, “Oh…nothing.” Nothing?

I got up from my desk and ran out into the living room, where I saw her running across the hall. I followed and watched her as her little behind made a quick turn into the bathroom. I had her followed! What did I see?

In her hand was what was left of my wife’s new lipstick(唇膏). And her face was covered with bright red! As she looked up at me with fearful eyes. I was almost becoming angry. However, when I looked down at the sweater on her. In big letters it said. “ I’M A PERFECT ANGEL(天使)!” I looked back up into her tearful eyes, I saw a little angel full of value that I had come dangerously close to destroying. “Sweetheart, let’s take a picture so Mommy can see how special you look.” I took the picture and thanked God that I didn’t miss the chance to prove what a perfect angel he had given me.
