Question

A mother returned home from the store very tiredly．As she put down all of the things on the kitchen table，her 8-year-old son ran up to her．He was waiting for her and wanted to tell her what his younger brother had done．

“While I was out playing and Dad was on a call，Tyler took his crayons and wrote on the wall! It’s on the new wallpaper you just hung up in the living room．I told him you would be mad at him for doing it again，but I couldn’t stop him.” She let out a long sound and asked,“He did it again?Where is your little brother now?” “He is in his room，”the son answered quickly．

She walked to the younger son’s room．She called his full name as she entered．Then，she found Tyler．He was trying to hide．He knew that the worst moment was corning! For the next 10 minutes，the room was full of her shouting about the expensive wallpaper．She punished the little boy for his bad behavior．

Then，she headed for the living room to see what happened．As she saw the wall，her eyes flooded with tears at once．It said“I love Mommy”and was surrounded with a heart．

Well, the wallpaper remained，just as she found it，with an empty picture frame hung around it．A reminder to her and to all：Take time to read the handwriting on the wall．
