I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back. The boy couldn ' t have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, ' I' m sorry, but you don' t have enough money to buy this doll. ' Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ' ' Granny,are you sure I don ' t have enough money? ' The old lady replied: ' ' You know that you don ' t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear. ' ' Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It ' s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her. ' I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly. ' No, Santa Claus can ' t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there. '
His eyes were so sad while saying this. ' My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister. ' '
My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: ' I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. ' Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me ' I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won ' t forget me. ' 'I love my mommy and I wish she didn ' t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister. ' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. ' Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll! ' ''OK ' he said, ' I hope I do have enough. ' I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said: ' Thank you God for giving me enough money! ' Then he looked at me and added, ' I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! ' ' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn ' t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. ' ' 'My mommy loves white roses. '
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind.

永遠不要對父母說的十句話
1、好了，好了，知道，真羅嗦！
2、有事嗎，沒事？那掛了啊。 （父母打電話，也許只想說說話，我們能否理解他們的用意，不要匆忙掛了電話？）
3、說了你也不懂，別問了！
4、跟你說了多少次不要你做，做又做不好。 （一些他們已經力不能及的事，我們因為關心而制止，但這樣讓他們覺得自己很無用）
5、你們那一套，早就過時了。 （父母的建議，也許不能起到作用，可我們是否能換一種回應的方式？）
6、叫你別收拾我的房間，你看，東西找都找不到！ （自己的房間還是自己收拾好，不收拾，也不要拂了父母的好意）
7、我要吃什麼我知道，別夾了！ （盼著我們回家的父母總想把所有關心融在特意做的菜裡，我們默默領情就好）
8、說了別吃這些剩菜了，怎麼老不聽啊！ （他們一輩子的節約習慣，很難改，讓他們每次盡量少做點菜就好）
9、我自己有分寸，不要老說了，煩不煩.
10、這些東西說了不要了，堆在這裡做什麼啊！ （他們總想把跟我們成長有關的東西都收藏起來，也許佔滿房間，多年後，看到自己還是嬰兒時的小棉襖，難道不是很驚喜嗎？）
