A Story of Misinterpretation.

This is a story that I heard from my cousin, that she remembered as a little girl, which is phenomenal because at the time she was too young to talk.

The Mom and her cute little girl went to McDonald's. After ordering they went and sat down to enjoy their inexpensive meal.

The little girl was eating her fries when she came across the largest french fry she had ever seen! And so, like any little girl feeling very proud, she held up the fry and showed it to her Mom.

"mama, Eishd ciemc" (She was too young to be able to speak) She just made some sounds.

The parent smiled and simply said "thank you sweetie." The Mom then took and ate the french fry mistaking the little girls action as kindness.

The little child promptly began to cry to which the mother scooped up her little child and held her close while bearing a puzzled look on her face, but making soothing sounds.

The little girl looks up with a wet streaked face at her mothers face and wishes she could explain to her Mom.....but she is unable to.

Sometimes in life there are things we simply can't understand.
