Daughter: Mom, are you excited about the coming Mothers' Day?
Mom: Nope.
Daughter: I will be excited about Mothers' Day when I am a mother. My children will be way better than your kids. I can enjoy shopping the whole day, buying jewellery, cosmetics, clothing. Then I will have a fancy dinner at the best restaurant in town, with candles and flowers, and my husband will pay for it. Oh, I forget, in the morning when I am still in bed, my kids will bring me a delicious breakfast tray with a rose stem. I will also receive a sweet greeting card.
Mom (laughing): Good, very nice dream. Glad that you have such nice dreams.
Daughter: Yes, and I will be better parents than you. I will live in a big house, with designer furniture, and eat out often. I will have the latest Iphone for myself, and buy Iphone for all of my kids. I will send my kids to private schools because I want them to go to the best schools. I will drive a luxury car and go on vacations often with my family. I will stay close to my family, I mean, my "own" family: my husband and my children. I will go shopping for myself and my kids whenever I want and do not have to wait for a sale or promotion...
Mom (laughing harder): Very interesting to hear so. I also sincerely hope that you will be better parents than me and your kids will be better than my kids, haha. Love your saying, it must be the best saying of the day, no, actually the best of the year!
Mom (thinking in her mind): One day you will become a mother, having children of your own, and maybe passing part of the path that I have traveled in the motherhood...and finally becoming an extension of myself, a better and happier extension...
