My daughter's fall

Last Sunday, my husband and I ran to supermarket for some errands. Children went down to playground. My maid was with them.

Half way we received the call from them "Prisca had a fall".

We rushed home and came to know that they were pushing one another and Paul, being the strongest, pushed Prisca down from the slide. "What was Elf, (my maid) doing?"
"she was talking with other maids". I gave Paul several good canes. and scolded both Noah and Prisca.

Later we brought Prisca to see doctors and found she had multiple fractures. She was put on cast and would not go to school for at least one week. She should not go to playground for at least two months.

When this kind of thing happens, naturally our reactions is angry and fault finding. But we also know that this is the accident can happen to anyone under any circumstance. To be angry and blame others do not the suffering that Prisca is going through. We are just grateful that the worse could have happened and hope that both our maid and our children will learn a good lesson from it.
