Have you ever listened to young kids talking in the playground? They are always boasting. They say things like, “My Dad’s car is bigger than your Dad’s,” and “My Mom is smarter than yours.” They particularly like to boast about their families.
There were three little boys, Harry, Ted and Gavin, who were always boasting. Gavin was the worst. Everything about his family was always the best or the biggest or the most expensive.
Whatever the others said, he could always go on better. One day when they were walking to school, Harry said, “My father had a bath twice a week,”
Ted spoke next. “That’s nothing,” he said. “Having a bath twice a week is dirty. My father has a bath every day, sometimes twice a day.”
Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his turn. But what could he say?
“This time,” Ted thought, “I’m going to win.”
Gavin didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t say that his father had a bath three times a day. That was silly.
He walked on in silence.
Ted smiled at Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were sure that for once they had beaten Gavin.
They reached the school gate. Still Gavin said nothing.
They went into class. Morning break, lunch-time, afternoon break all passed. Still Gavin said nothing.
“We’ve won,” Ted said to Harry, but he spoke too soon. On the way home, Gavin said, “My Dad is so clean that he doesn’t have to bathe at all.”

Like a lot of middle school students, Jessica has a problem. She and her parents don't get on well.

Do you and your parents have problems?
A study shows that many Chongqing families have the same problems as Jessica's family. The children,

other children feel that way. But you and your parents will be happier if you can be friends. Here are some

out for a walk or watching TV. Tell them something you're interested in, or ask them about their lives

eyes.
