Mom and Dad

ben

A timid girl of about 5 years of age asked a naughty young boy while in a playpen at a fast food chain:

Timid girl: Do you have a mother?
Naughty boy: Yes. How about you?
Timid girl: I have, but I don't know if I can call her my mother.
Naughty boy: Why did you say that?
Timid girl: She is in Milan, Italy. I have never seen her. Maybe she doesn't know me.
Naughty boy: She works abroad so she has much money?
Timid girl: She has other kids there. She's forgotten me.
Naughty boy: I am sorry for that.
Timid girl: Am I bad not to call her 'Mom'?
Naughty boy: No, you're not. I have no one to call dad as well. My mom told me he abandoned us when I was younger.
Timid girl: Poor you. Do you think we could be good Mom and Dad in the future?
