Thoughts to ponder (In which house do you live?)

The author of the following is unknown. This was taken from the magazine Psychology for Living (credits to whom deserves)

“I got two A´s”, the small boy cried, his voice was filled with glee. His father bluntly asked him, “Why didn´t you get three?”. “Mom, I´ve got the dishes done”, the girl called from the door. Her mother very calmly said, “did you sweep the kitchen floor?”. “I´ve mowed the grass”, the tall boy said, and put the mower away. The father, looking at the rug, “you didn´t clean off the clay!”.
The children in the house next door seem happy and content. The same things happened over there, but this is how it went: “I got two A´s, the small boy cried; his voice was filled with glee. His father proudly said, “That´s great, I am glad you belong to me”. “Mom, I´ve got the dishes done”, the girl called from the door, her mother smiled and softly said; “each day I love you more”.”I´ve mowed the grass”, the tall boy said, and put the mower away, his father answered with much joy, “Son, you have made may day!”
Children deserve a little praise for tasks they´re asked to do, if they´re grow up feeling good, so much depends on you! Think about it…..
