Children nowadays really lack a parent-involved childhood. One whereby their parents are part of it. Sad yet so real. One day a teacher asked one of her kids, a bright and adorable 10 year old whats the best gift his daddy and mummy has given him.
Boy: Oh w...ell, Mrs Khoo, Do you mean things they bought or got other meanings?
Tr: What do you think?
Boy: Mum works very hard to give me a comfortable life. Because she earns money, I can concentrate on studying and not go to work when I am just 10 years old. Dad brings us for holidays every year. We went to LA last year and this year we are heading to Switzerland. Does that count as a gift?
Tr: Wow! You are a very fortunate boy.
Boy: But I will be very very happy if they can come pick me up from school and bring me to KFC for lunch one day. Only once in a while. They are very busy with work you know.
