As parents, we want our children to be happy and enjoy their time with friends. But sometimes, even the simplest things can cause frustration and disappointment. Such is the case with my son and his beloved French fries.
You see, my son is a massive fan of French fries. He loves them so much that he always requests them as his snack for picnics and other outings with his friends. However, his joy in his snack has been dampened by the fact that his friends always seem to take his fries.
My son was sad and confused. He couldn't understand why his friends would take his fries when they had their own snacks. He also very sweetly used an analogy of how his friends line up (or rather get crowded) around him like they are trying to get tickets for the Varisu movie. After some observation and discussion, he came to the conclusion that it was the pepper on his fries that was attracting their attention.
In his mind, if he didn't add pepper to his fries, his friends would leave them alone and he could enjoy his snack in peace. So, he asked his mother not to add pepper to his fries anymore.
As a parent, it can be difficult to see our children upset. But in this case, we able to offer a simple solution that made our son happy. By removing the pepper from his fries, he was able to enjoy his snack without the fear of it being taken by his friends.
It's a small thing, but it greatly impacted my son's happiness. And as a parent, that's all that really matters.
