Chain-reaction

Shi-Shi and Mama went to Shi-Shi's friend's preschool to pick her up because her mom was busy with taking care of other stuff. Shi-Shi and Mama arrived the preschool earlier than the school end, and waited at the front yard for a while.At around the school end, Shi-Shi and Mama went to their friend's classroom, but she was awfuly crying for some reason. She understood that her friends came and pick her up, though, she suddenly missed her mom:( It happened all the time especially when kids just started school. So it was understandable to Mama, though, Shi-Shi started to cry like a chain-reaction. Mama carried her friend on her arm and hold Shi-Shi's hand on the other side, and both girls were crying. Some of moms in the preschool gave Mama bitter smile.

Mommy take a rest!

Shi-Shi now takes care of others. Mama was tired after the swimming class and sighed heavily with weariness after dinner. As Shi-Shi saw her tiredness, Shi-Shi said " Mommy, take a rest!". Mama was really proud of her little daughter who now can take care of her family, though, at the same time, Mama felt herself really old. But then, when Mama sat on the floor and was lazy, Shi-Shi said " Mommy, watch TV.". ??? Is that what she wanted isn't it?!
