While tidying the house, a mother was approached by her young son, Timmy, who was in tears.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, sweetie?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I broke a flower pot while playing soccer inside,\u201d Timmy admitted.<\/p>\n
Sighing, the mother tried to stay calm. \u201cTimmy, how many times have I told you not to play soccer in the house?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, Mom,\u201d Timmy said, \u201cbut it wasn\u2019t my fault\u2014the ball just flew out of control!\u201d<\/p>\n
She nodded. \u201cAccidents happen, but next time, be more careful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Timmy ran off to play but soon came back. \u201cMom, promise you won\u2019t be mad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I promise,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n
Timmy took a deep breath: \u201cI also broke the window\u2026 but I learned something!\u201d<\/p>\n
Raising an eyebrow, she asked, \u201cWhat lesson?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grinning sheepishly, he said, \u201cNext time, I\u2019ll play outside.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
