Stubborn Boy

Dear Lok Lok,

Tonight, you spent more than 2 hours on your purple little chair. Because you refused to admit that it's wrong to throw thing down to the street. Because you refused to say sorry.

Mama was heart broken to see you cry like that. Your little face so red and tears coming off non-stop. But you just refused to say sorry.

Not that you didn't understand. You do. In other circumstances you responded with sorry and an admission of wrong doing before. Just not tonight. I guess you were too angry to say sorry.

But my baby boy, papa and mama just love you too much to let you run wild and to go your own way. It's said in the Bible, the teaching stick won't kill. Also it's said loving parents must discipline their children so they won't go to the way of death.

Lok Lok, when you finally followed mama to say sorry, I couldn't help break into tears. I just wanna let you know that it's actually tougher for papa mama to discipline than you taking it.

I pray that God would give papa and mama wisdom to lead you to the right way, and have wisdom to teach and discipline a stubborn boy like you.

Have some good sleep, my dear boy.

Love you very much,
mama.
