Although mommy nags at you incessantly the minute you wake up : -
to brush your teeth and wipe your face,
to have your breakfast with nothing but haste,
to change your clothes and get ready for school,
to listen to teachers and focus in school.
Unfortunately this is not the end,
for when you come back home, I start again: -
to have your afternoon snack,
before your bath,
to finish your homework,
before your play,
throughout the day to mind your manners,
to say please, thank you and excuse me.
And when it comes to dinner time : -
to sit up straight with shoulders back,
and chew your food without showing your teeth,
to stop giggling and joking with your brother,
but eat your food as fast as you can.
And finally when the day is near its end,
to have your milk and bedtime story,
to brush your teeth and wipe your face.
I feel so happy to see a patient boy,
always so eager to give me a hug and say "Good Night",
Even more so,
when I see this note : -
I love you very much too, my little darling!
