The other day we went on a trip to our community’s new fountain(喷泉). My oldest daughter, Anne, was super 41 and eagerly explored the attractions. There I was happy to see Lily, who was of Anne age. They didn’t know each other well, 42 they had met at gymnastics before. I was 43 that Anne would have someone to enjoy the 44 with. However, my daughter was about to 45 an important social lesson.
I watched Anne run 46 after Lily and her other friends. I was saying something to my husband when I heard a loud “No!” I turned to see Anne’s face full of 47 and shock as Lily 48 . I went over to see what had happened and Anne said Lily didn’t want to 49 with her. Thinking that there must be a(n) 50 , I told Anne that she should just ask Lily 51 if she could play with her. Generally speaking, this would 52 . But Anne’s quiet request to play was shot down by another loud “No!”
I gave her a(n) 53 and told her it was 54 , and that Mommy, Daddy and her little sister would play with her. Later that day as I was talking about the fun we’d had, she asked me why Lily didn’t 55 her.
I said not everyone wanted to play with us and that if one person didn’t want to be 56 you, that didn’t mean you were not 57 or important to others. I thought I had 58 it clearly. She didn’t mention it any more and I haven’t seen any lasting side effects. However, I can’t 59 it. I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of the memory of her 60 at that moment. My heart has been forever wounded on her behalf.
