A swing of the bag, the water bottle uncapped and the drinking water drenched the things in the school bag. That was what happened on the morning with a really overly and tightly squeezed bag with a water bottle in between.
The choice made to simply get everything in into a single carrier. The outcome was drenched books for school and slightly later arrival in school.
Doesn't it remind me and us of something? Doesn't it remind me of the same that goes into each day of my life? Fully packed schedules and no space for other things.
No space? After wiping the bag, mummy quickly placed the books into an additional bag so that the things are now spaced out in different bags. The bottle topped up and hand carried. The same goes for our lives. The choices to make to space out is needed so as to give a breather to daily life and ease the pain of carrying a burden of heavy school bag.
In the process of it, choose also to smile and talk through the process after all is cooled down. Precious lessons can become precious teaching moments for both parent and child.
