Today is author's day in Minkai and Minda's class.
Two weeks ago, Minkai and Minda started to talk about it.
"Mommy, can you come at Author's Day?"
"I have to check my calendar."
"You do not have to come. I can show you at home." They were very reasonable...
A week ago, they asked again, "can you come at Author's Day?"
"You told me that you could show me your books at home."
"Yeah, but can you come?"
"Sure, I will reserve the time on my calendar."
Today, I went to their school, five minutes late. I stood at the entrance of the classroom. Minkai was looking back with big frown. Then, he saw me, and started to smile. He talked to Minda next to him. I walked toward the center of the classroom and sat down on the floor with other parents and kids. Minkai and Minda crawled to me. Minkai was so relieved and eventually sat on my lap. Minda asked me to listen to her story first as Minkai sat on my lap.
I guessed, when they said that I did not have to go, they meant that they really wanted me to go.
