My hubby and I took Ajib and Liya to the cinema to watch the Revenge of the Fallen. Ajib was excited, he ran in circles and sneaked and hid behind and in between the crowds. It was their first time to the movies.
Liya complained the sound system was too loud while Ajib couldn’t help himself asking questions and fascinated by the robots. We should have brought Ajib’s Bumblebee which we had bought about 2 years back.
People go to the movies with various expectations but they come out taking home some lessons from the movies. Otherwise, the trip is purely on entertainment, nothing more nothing less. In real life, people expect miracles to happen. People wish the love and the care shall remain if not blooming. We take things for granted until something hits us on the head. The bump is painful but the loss unbearable.
Parenting is also like getting bumps all over the head. We’ll be mature over time. We grow fonder of things that we care about. We make sacrifices along the way. As it needs 2 to tango, parenting also requires equal participation from the parents. Don’t be stingy with love and time. Kids will settle for those who give them priority.
