“I got two A’s,” the small boy cried, His voice was filled with glee; His father very bluntly asked, “Why didn’t you get three?”
“Mom, I’ve got the dishes done,” The girl called from the door; Her mother very calmly said, “Did you sweep the floor?”
“I’ve mowed the grass,” the tall boy said, “And put the mower away;” His father asked him, with a shrug, “Did you clean off the clay?”
The children in the house next door seem happy and content; The same thing happened over there, And this is how it went:
“I got two A’s,” the small boy cried, His voice was filled with glee; His father proudly said, “That’s great!! I’m glad you live with me!”
“Mom, I’ve got the dishes done,” The girl called from the door; Her mother smiled and softly said, “Each day I love you more.”
“I’ve mowed the grass,” the tall boy said, “And put the mower away;” His father answered with much joy, “You’ve made my happy day.”
Children deserve a little praise For tasks they’re asked to do; If they’re to lead a happy life,
So much depends on you.
