One evening, a kindergarten school teacher was evaluating assignments done by a colleague’s students.

Her husband was walking around with his smartphone.

A little later, when the husband saw the wife sobbing he asked, “Honey, what’s the matter?’ What Happened?”

She said, “Yesterday my colleague requested to evaluate some of the assignments she gave to her 4th standard students

She continued, “The assignment was to write a paragraph on the topic – MY WISH.”

The husband replied, “OKAY, but why are you WEEPING?”

“I just read something in one of the NOTES that made me sad,” she replied.

The husband asked with curiosity, “What was WRITTEN on it?”

The wife took the notebook and started READING it aloud.

She began, “My wish is to BECOME a smart phone. My parents love it more than anything else including, their only son, me.”

“They care for it so much that many-a-times they just FORGET to take care of me,” she continued.

“They play games and talk on their phones for hours, but they have NO TIME to listen or speak to me.”

“I feel LONELY in a family full of smart devices.”

So I wish to become a smartphone. Maybe I will get the ATTENTION and love of my parents.”

After listening to it husband got EMOTIONAL and asked “Who’s the kid?”

The wife replied, “OUR ONLY SON.”

It’s great to be connected with the world. But sometimes we just NEED to pause.

Put the phone down, experience life and spend time with your LOVED one. This is the real world.
