I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic    36  ; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe(假装) little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very   37  . She didn’t listen to a   38   I said or do the things she should.” In the   39   I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was   40   she’d been put to sit alone and   41  .
My daughter   42   her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know   43   to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never   44   me do the things that I just have to do. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot   45  . And she doesn’t know how to fold towels. I don’t have the   46   to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play —   47   what I mean?”
And that day I thought a lot about making some   48  in my life, as I listened to her words that   49   me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most   50  . I’d been caught up in responsibilities that increased   51   years.
But now my   52   has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different light through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs（蜘蛛网）  53   the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them   54  .
I’m going to fill the house with   55   of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.
