“I haven’t recognized my son for two weeks. It is true that it is 5 years old and not much is required, but it seems tense for a few days. He is distracted and does not seem to notice any of the family members, he did not touch sweets and chocolates, and now he even brings them to the garden to eat. It seemed like nothing, but so many changes made me think and I decided to observe more.
After a while, I found that he didn’t have any of the new toys that he had bought, and I asked him what happened to the toys. Although he is naughty, he can’t help lying, but this time he tried and told me that the toys were left in the garden.
I have a thousand things to think about, and finally I assumed that Shio didn’t need anything special, although yesterday when I went into his room to freshen up, I smelled a strange smell, like rotten food. I gradually approached the child’s clothes closet and started to take out the drawers one by one.
I ended up with a drawer where I keep smaller clothes and actually rarely have to take them out. What I see is oranges, bananas, chocolates, drawing sheets and toys in one big colorful park. The juice had come out of the fruit and everything was so mixed together, there was nothing missing from my screams, and it was driving me crazy, why did it take so long, I couldn’t help myself and called him loudly.
The person who entered the room was already in tears and as if he was waiting for my question, he was not going to say anything himself… I realized that I had too much, I approached him, put him in my lap, caressed him. Then he started crying, and when I thought about it, I started to cry.
– Does Santa Claus bring gifts to the mother’s garden?
– Why not, he brings it.
– It turns out that some children are left without a gift.
– Who told you this?
– Andria told me not to come to the celebration and sing with you, because Santa doesn’t bring me a New Year’s gift.
– I told him that it was a lie, and Andro told me that his mother told him so and that it is better not to come to the celebration at all. That’s why I decided to be Andro’s Santa Claus and sing with me at the celebration… I was distracted by a thousand thoughts after hearing this story and I didn’t even ask Shio why he hid it from me… The next morning we bought gifts together, although the main thing was ahead. Andria really had to come to the garden on the day of the celebration to give presents to Santa Claus. That’s why I gave it to the teacher. It was difficult for me to call, but I dared to because of the children… As it turned out, my son’s friend had two more brothers, whose mother, abandoned by her husband, managed to support them on a whim, and how was she going to get money for the children’s New Year’s gifts…
When we packed gifts for Andria’s brothers, Shio said to me: “Mom, maybe people like us help Santa Claus collect gifts, how could he do so much alone”?!
Shio counts the days on his fingers every night before going to sleep, waiting for the celebration… He is happy to be a 5-year-old Santa Claus! He even thought of where to hide Andro’s gift in the garden. (I told you this story because I am glad that these little children have more feelings of support and sympathy than adults)
