I was having a discussion with a colleague about some new employees and their demands. The older colleague commented that at least she had a child so she understood the younger generation.
What kind of comment is it?
It implies directly that because I don't have a child of my own, I understand nothing?
***
I decided that her rude comment won't spoil my day.
So I thought of something nice.
I thought of my dear friend's daughter and her comment some time ago when she was 15.For her 15th birthday, I wrapped up a small gift and sent it through my friend. The girl commented to her mother.
"I have been thinking about Klara lately. She is my only real aunt. She is the only aunt who ever babysat me and the only one who sometimes did homework with me and the only one who sends me a birthday card".
How sweet her comment was. The girl has two aunts but they have never done these things... as they have children of their own and are too busy.
I will keep the girl's comment in my heart forever. It reminds me of what is really important in life. Priceless moments.
