My Wish

After dinner, a teacher started checking homework done by the students. Her husband is strolling around with a smart phone playing his favourite game 'Candy Crush Saga'.

When reading the last note, the wife starts crying with silent tears.

Her husband saw this and asked, 'Why are you crying dear? What happened?'

Wife: 'Yesterday I gave homework to my Standard 1 students, to write something on the topic ''My Wish''.'

Husband: 'OK, but why are you crying?'

Wife: 'Today while checking the last note, it makes me cry.'

Husband curiously asked, 'What's written in the note that makes you cry?'

Wife: 'Listen to this..
My wish is to become a smart phone. My parents love smart phone very much. They care about smart phone so much that sometimes they forget to care about me. When my father comes home from office, he has time for smart phone but not for me.

When my parents are doing some important work and smart phone is ringing, within single ring they attend to the phone, but not me... even if I am crying.

They play games on their smart phones and not with me. When they are talking to someone on their smart phone, they never listen to me even if I am telling something important.

So, my wish is to become a smart phone.'

After listening to the note the husband got emotional and asked the wife, 'Who wrote this?'

Wife: 'Our son.'

Gadgets are beneficial, but they are for our ease, not to cease the love among our family and loved ones.

Children see and feel everything about what happens with and around them. Things get imprinted on their mind with an everlasting effect. Let's take due care, so that they do not grow with any false impressions.
