When I was a little child, my mum liked to make meals for my father and me. She often made good food for us after work.
One evening, my mum placed a plate of eggs, sausage and burned biscuits in front of my dad and me. I saw the burned biscuits
I looked up at my father. He picked up one of the burned biscuits and smiled at my mum. He asked me how my day at school was. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him put butter on the biscuits and eat all of them.
When I got up from the table, I heard my mum say sorry to my dad for burning the biscuits.
And I would never forget what he said, "Dear, I love burned biscuits."
Later, I asked him if he really liked the burned biscuits. He said: "Your mum works very hard today and she's really tired. Besides, burned biscuits never hurt anyone!"
You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. Learning to accept others' faults. This is one of the most important keys to living a healthy and lasting relationship.
