Last summer, I spent an afternoon with my daughter, Ava Scarlett. As her mother, I know about her true nature, but you can always learn new things about your child through how she makes the tough
I asked, “Which would you rather have? All the Barbies (toys girls like much) or all the cake? Ava had a wrinkle formed on her nose. It wasn’t a fair question, of course, but I was curious.
My daughter is seven years old, and like many kids her age, she has a red-hot love of barbies. I sometimes worry about what Mattel’s plastic princess and her straight, blond hair and unrealistic measurements will don to my daughter’s developing psyche.
My daughter, like many kids her age, is fascinated with cakes of all kinds. But it’s not about eating them—or not solely(单独地). She wants to be the person baking amazing shapes and colors. Unblinking, her eyes shine as show watches chocolate.
Ava Scarlett turned, staring at me with her answer in mind. And it was good. “Why can’t we have both and share with everyone who wants?”
My daughter always splits her cookie in two so her brother can have some. She offers me her last bite of cucumber, even though it’s her favorite vegetable. She wants us to know how much she cares for us-each of us. and she even makes the list of loved ones who will get to have her dream cakes.
Truth to be told, we don’t bake a whole lot in our house. But given the opportunity, Ava Scarlett is satisfied with baking cakes for the family. Today, it’s dinner: she has declared herself in charge of beating the egg for dinner.
Carefully, she carries her little white chair over to the fridge. The chair isn’t heavy, and she’s now big enough to lift it easily-no more dragging it across the floor. Looking into the wire basket of brown and white eggs we keep in the fridge, Ava Scarlett has a question of her own.
“Can I choose any egg I want?”
“Of course.”
She takes a long moment.” I think I’ll choose a brown one, because I love my mother.” I blink----Ava Scarlett often doesn’t realize that she is also brown. I remember wanting to be a standard Barbie when I was seven, too, which is really just a way of saying, “I don’t want to feel different.”
I give my daughter a quick smile. She does her best and then reaches in to pick one out. I know she did so to express her love for me and our family. At this moment, I choose to accept her comment as a generous one. Ava Scarlett’s desire is for people around her to be as happy as possible. She wants things to be smooth. These days, though she’d rather be Barbie than a brown egg, she’d never want me to feel abandoned by her. This little apple hasn’t fallen very far from my tree. It’s amazing what your children mirror back.
I hand Ava Scarlett a fork. “Did you know that eggs come in all kinds of colors and shapes? They’re all exactly the same on the inside, though. Just like people.”
“I know.” She said.
I can almost hear the gears in her head turning my words over and around. Of course, eggs are the same on the inside, just like people, she’s thinking. I know she understands this.
