A
When I was a child, my mom liked to make food for dinner every now and then. And I remembered one particular when she made diner after a long, hard day at work.
On Out evening so long ago. my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in from of my dad. I remembered waiting lo see if anyone noticed. Yet all my dad did was lo reach for his toast, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I didn't remember what I told him that night, but I did remember watching him smear (涂上) butter on that toast and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remembered hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And i would never forget what he said, “Baby, i love burnt toast.”
Later that night, i went to kiss Daddy goodnight and i asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Son, your mom spent a hard day at work today and she's really tired. And besides, a little burnt toast never hurts anyone!”
You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook. What i learned over the years is that trying to accept faults of each other and choosing to embrace differences of each ocher are the most important keys to creating a healthy and lasting relationship.
