A lesson (story)

One fine day, a kid asked his mother...

"Could we go to the movies to watch Batman?"

His mother said. "Sure. We can go next weekend, just remember to ask papa when he comes back from work,  to book the tickets beforehand, as it'll be hard to get a good seat."

He said. "No! We are NOT bringing papa!"

The mother asked why?

He said. "I don't love him! He's always at office, working all day and night. He barely has time to spend time with us!"

 "Wait... all day and night? Right?"

The kid nodded. 

"Why does he work all day and night? He does it for us! So we can get our bread and butter. So you can buy all those games you get for ps4! Mafia, Destiny, Uncharted... Who bought you those? What about our house? He bought all of it!"

"You also helped so much Mama!"

"I know! I did the cooking and cleaning, taking care of you. I did my share as well. Just please... don't discriminate between mother and father. They deserve equal amount of love. The love you give me, should be given to papa as well. Ok?

"Ok mama."

"Good boy." she said with a wide smile 

The boy gave a smile back and embraced his mother.

Sunday evening...

"Lisa honey, can you pass me the popcorn please?"

"I'll pass it papa!"

"Oh... thanks John!"

"You're welcome papa. Thank you for the movie. Thank you for working day and night for us.

Although his reaction was difficult to see in the theater,  John had thought that it was the best thing he'd ever seen, even better than Batman. A beautiful, happy look from his dear papa.

The end...

Hmmm. Its lovely indeed. But this same story has been written time and time again. Try and write something more original. Don't get me wrong, its cute but not very original.

I like a happy ending! I'm sure both kids and parents can relate to this... If only more families actually talked to each other.

[Mr.Writer]

Thanks!! :)

Gender equality. Why not? This one is good. I like how you describe the kid in a way he should be. Playful and sweet.

[Mr.Writer]

I believe in this, being a true daughter to my parents. Manasa puthrika to my parents, who are Gurus too.
