You’re Awesome
Lai Lai learned a phrase from her kindergarten teacher: “You’re awesome!”
Lai Lai discovered that this phrase had magical power.
Back at home, Lai Lai heard her dad saying to her mom, “How did you burn the food again?” Lai Lai gave her mom a thumbs up and said, “You’re awesome!” Mom was stunned: “Huh, Lai Lai, are you mocking me too?” Lai Lai said, “No, I was thinking, Mom, you have to go to work, buy groceries, and cook in such a short time, it’s not easy. So I’m praising you: you’re awesome!”
Dad blushed: “Uh… looks like I should help you buy groceries!”
At this moment, their dog Mao Mao came over, whining for food. Dad got angry again, “You don’t do anything but eat, eat, eat!”
Lai Lai gave a thumbs up again and said, “Mao Mao, you’re awesome!”
Huh? Even Mao Mao perked up its ears and stared at Lai Lai in confusion.
Lai Lai said, “Mao Mao, you don’t need to wear clothes in winter, you run around barefoot and don’t get sick, you’re definitely awesome!”
Hearing this, Mao Mao happily crawled under the sofa and fetched something shiny.
Lai Lai clapped her hands and said, “Wow! You found the pen Dad lost a long time ago, you’re awesome!”
Dad felt ashamed and rushed to wash the dishes after dinner. But he held a worn-out dishcloth and said, “This should be thrown away, right?”
Lai Lai gave a thumbs up to the dishcloth and said, “Dishcloth, you’re awesome!”
“Huh? Even though it’s torn, it’s awesome?”
“Yes, it’s hurt but still helps us wash dishes, isn’t that awesome?”
Hearing this, the dishcloth jumped into the water excitedly and started washing the dishes on its own!
At night, Mom took out some scraps of fabric and carefully mended the dishcloth.
Before bed, both Mom and Dad gave a thumbs up together and said loudly, “Lai Lai, you’re awesome!”
Ah, this phrase indeed has magical power!
Lai Lai smiled and closed her eyes sweetly.
