Sweet Twins

Nadia kept shaking her head saying, "I don't understand."

"Well, Nadia," Nancy sighed exasperatedly while looking with so much concern at her daughter, "you're far too young. How are you to know that much about love? One day, you will grow up be a fine young lady. By then, you will finally understand what Mommy and Daddy are facing right now. So please, just be patient, my darling."

"Mommy, I don't wanna grow up too soon. I just want you and Daddy to stay together!" Nadia cried.

Nadia's question gave Nancy a headache. She felt compelled to answer her daughter's question. "Oh, my Nadia... go and wake Bobby up now, so the two of you can have breakfast. I'll drive you to the kindergarten after you eat."

"Mommy, you haven't told me what relationships are. I just want to know what's wrong with your relationship with Daddy. Is it just like Bobby and Ruby? They ignored each other and looked very angry. But I saw Ruby crying in secret yesterday," Nadia asked intently while patiently waiting for an answer from her mom.

Huh? What did Nadia mean?

What happened to Bobby and Ruby?

Did those two kids get into a fight?

"Nadia, tell me more about it. What happened between Bobby and Ruby?" Nancy squatted down and looked at Nadia.

Nadia leaned closer to her mom and said, "You see, yesterday, I saw that Bobby handed a candy to another girl. She didn't even give Ruby any. That clearly upset Ruby, so she played with the other boys and avoided playing with Bobby. It seemed to have made Bobby angry and he deliberately played with other girls. Then the two of them have been ignoring each other ever since. Mommy, are you and Daddy doing the same?"

Nancy smiled, saying, "Of course not, my darling. Daddy and Mommy are grownups now. How could we do such a childish thing? Don't worry, my little darling. You and Bobby have to promise that you will take care of each other in the kindergarten. As for Ruby, just try to ignore her little fight with Bobby for now. I'm sure the two of them will make up after a little while."

Nadia slowly bobbed her little head in agreement and asked, "What about Daddy and Mommy? Will you guys make up soon?"

Nadia was waiting for her answer.
