【推荐1】My 13-year-old daughter Lisa remembers birthdays, makes people cards when they are sick, and sends encouraging notes written in colored pens in her neat, artistic hand.
One day I got a call from her principal, “I called to tell you that in 20 years of teaching I have seen nothing like what Lisa did today”, he said
I held my breath again as I thought, my Lisa? My sweet daughter? She must be the wrong kid. What could she have done?
My silence made him go on. “I’ve never seen a student do anything so nice for anyone who needed it more.”
“What did she do?” I asked. He explained to me about the cupcakes (杯形蛋糕).
When Lisa came home from school that afternoon, I told her the principal from her school had phoned me.
“Yeah”, she answered, “I got called out of math class to go to his office. Everyone thought I was in trouble, but he just wanted to know what was going on at lunch.”
Lisa and Ashley had sat with Jordan, a boy who is in special classes. They talked about birthdays, and Lisa asked Jordan when his birthday was. He told her it was coming up but that he lives in a group home and they don’t celebrate birthdays there.
“I remembered his birthday was today, so I made the cupcakes yesterday,” Lisa explained. “Ashley bought a two-liter bottle of soda and some birthday cups, plates, and napkins (餐巾纸) left over from her little brother’s party, and we got some other kids together at lunch today to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Jordan.”
“The principal wanted to know why they were having a birthday party for Jordan at school. When they told him, he just shook his head, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eyes,” Lisa told me. “Finally, he said he was going to tell my parents that I wasn’t in trouble, he was proud of what I did, and I could go back to math class.”
How different my daughter was from me. Better, in fact! I wouldn’t have ever known how to help out disadvantaged kids like that. But my wise daughter knew how-- all it took was cupcakes and adventurous (富有冒险精神的), independent (独立的), kind spirit.

【推荐1】
I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground. It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥泞的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.
Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom (王国) of happiness until you pretended (假装) to be a small child.”
