Grace waved her hand in a dance pose with joy to show off her new painting to her mom. Her mom spoke quickly, "Shh…honey, I am busy with an important talk. I will see it later." She frowned and turned to her dad. "Dad, see what I have done," Grace said aloud in an excited voice. Her dad turned around while putting on his coat, and showed his thumbs up! Immediately, Grace complained, "Dad, you haven't seen it carefully yet." He smiled at her, saying, "No time, baby. I'll see it once again later. "Her elder brother was always busy in his own dream land! She didn't feel like wasting her time trying to show him the painting.
Grace stood there for a few seconds, and then stormed off to her own bedroom. She threw the paper on the table, banged the door and dropped herself on her bed. Looking up to the ceiling, she wove her anger net.
When her mom called her for dinner, she came late on purpose. She kept silent, and didn't look at anyone. Her mom was surprised to see the unusual behavior. Softly she asked, "Honey, are you OK? Did I do something wrong?" Grace was so angry that she ran away to her room.
Next day, when Grace came back home, she went to her bedroom straight away. When she turned on the light, she surprisedly found her oil painting was beautifully framed and put up on the wall. Just below the painting, it was written "We are so proud of you Grace, our little girl!”
Grace was so happy that she hugged her mom tightly. Her mom said, "Honey! I am so sorry, dear! We would never say 'no time' for anything in the future, whether big or small. Got it?" She kissed her mom and said, "Yes, mama, got it. You're my sweet mom!"
