A hard choice

.
At a primary school…

The teacher told her pupils to make a discussion: “In your opinion what is the hardest choice?” Everyone discussed very eagerly. There were many ideas: some pupils thinked choosing friends or school was hardest, others said houses, toys… were very hard to choose… All those funny innocent thoughts made the teacher felt amused. Then a little girl raised her hand:

_ My hardest choice was to choose Mommy and Daddy, teacher.

The teacher laughed lightly and explained:

_ No one could choose his or her natural parents.
The girl said in whimper:

_ The other day at the law court they asked me to choose either of my parents, Mom or Dad. I couldn’t do it. I love both of them, I want to be with both…

The girl cried out as soon as she stopped saying about that.
The whole class were in silence. The teacher held the girl in her arms, feeling the naive, sobbing tears stinging her heart. Yes, there were so many hard choices, but how could a little child face such a painful choice?
