Last night in the riverside skating baby, and saw that often in this play roller skates little teenager, only five or six years old, but skating very 6. The whole body of professional sportswear dress up, valiant, just like a professional athlete. Many acquaintances passed by, are with his mother to exchange pleasantries: "Your son is really smart, so young to play so skilful ah, grow up can not be."
His mom, always so modest response: "Where where, very stupid it, learned for a long time." Said while leaning back slightly, hand consciously raised, shaking like a rattle, at the same time the expression on her face also betrayed her, one side of the corners of the mouth slightly up, the slightest concealment of the kind of joy and vanity in her heart.
While she was responding to someone else in this way again, just as the little teenager skated up to heel and heard, he stopped and roared angrily, "Where have you been learning for a long time, I've only been learning for 1 month!" His mom, a hint of embarrassment creeping into her cheeks but fleeting, glared at the kid, then turned her head to an acquaintance and said, "Smart is real smart, you just don't know how to be humble, you see."
The mother of a smart girl child
Wandering to the north, the world of square dancing, where a tiny figure of a girl child, inside a group of big mothers, looks particularly prominent. After a dance, there are a few amahs went crazy praising that little girl: "This little girl, really smart, only seven or eight years old, and dance so well, compared to those children on the talent show, not bad at all!"
"Now the living conditions are better, the children are well-fed and exposed, all smart." Next to the mother, said with a smile, her body stood straight, no extra body movements, finished, and then faintly shifted her gaze back to her daughter, without a little ripple, as if what others praised was not her daughter. Then continued, "It's mainly because she is interested in herself, willing to put in the effort, willing to spend time on this matter."
The two seemingly simple answers reveal the different levels and emotional intelligence of the two mothers, and also predict the future of the child
The first mother, seemingly modest, but her body language and facial expressions, exposed her inner vanity, but let a person get sick of it. Modesty is a Chinese virtue, but excessive modesty is pride.
