     Children are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers (幼儿),

they are all lovely and lively. And it's so interesting to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow,

these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to be a grown-up.

     Conflicts (矛盾) go between parents and children. It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A

child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with it's parents. Whether it is about some toy,

studies, a party or a company, there is always a difference between them. And it becomes worse when they

answer you back. Scientists tell us that children should be treated with care. Yes, sure they should respect

their elders.

     We are partly responsible (有责任的) for this. At an early age we encourage children to behave like adults,

just because we find it funny. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used

to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late.

Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not

acceptable (可接受的). Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force

(暴力). And use of force is against the every good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.

      So it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered

citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are the mirrors of us adults.

     I arrived at my mother's home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the

kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt (被子) after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back

into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. "What is this?" I asked.          

     "Oh?" Mom said, "That's Mama's quilt." I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children

had pieced it together; irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.    

     "Grandmother made this?" I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This

certainly didn't look like any of the quilts she had made.      

     "Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes," she said.

"I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far."      

     I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had

stitched (缝)a piece of cloth with these words: "My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all lines

straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt."            

     "Oh, this is so nice, Mom, "I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother's quilt, my

mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started

with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.
