大宝的贺卡把我读哭了

母亲节，大宝正忙着期末考试，她用电子邮件祝我节日快乐后，总觉得还欠我点儿什么。昨天，她悄悄买了个母亲节卡片，今天终于补上了她心中的遗憾。

打开卡一看，我读着读着，真的是眼泪汪汪的了。这孩子写的太感人了，我从来没读过这么感人的贺卡。总而言之吧，她把全国人民表扬雷锋的词儿全都用上了，在大宝眼里，天下就我这么一个雷锋似的好妈妈。孩子长大了，心里有谱了，知道感恩了，甚慰。不过呢，90后和我们这代人太不一样了，算了，不写了，刚表扬完大宝，对她的批评就暂缓一下吧。

今天我翻开一首诗让她读，谁知道她到底记住中心思想没有？---不积跬步，无以致千里；不积细流，难以成江河；小灾也能酿大祸。

The power of Littles

Great events, we often find,
  On little things depend,
And very small beginnings
  Have oft a mighty end.

A single utterance may good
  or evil thought inspire;
One little spark enkindled
  May set a town on fire.

What volumes may be written
  With little drops of ink!
How small a leak, unnoticed,
  A mighty ship will sink!

Our life is made entirely
  Of moments multiplied,
As little streamlets, joining
  Form the ocean’s tide.

Our hours and days,
    our months and years,
are in small moments given:
They constitute our time below -
Eternity in heaven
