Youngsters these days had the tendency to solve everything with gifts or money.
If their girlfriends were happy, they'd treat them to some fancy coffee. If their girlfriends were on their monthly cycle, they'd send them money for hot chocolate and remind them to drink more hot water.
If their girlfriends were feeling down, they'd send them cash for their favorite snacks. For holidays and special occasions, they'd send them money so she could buy new clothes for herself. And if their girlfriends were mad, they'd send them money until they forgave them.
Sean learned all these from Avery. He and Nadine had been staying at Avery's place. Avery was outspoken and loud, so it was impossible for him not to catch bits of her wisdom. Sometimes, he even offered Avery some advice.
Hence, when Adam asked Nadine about it, he answered without missing a beat. Nadine was dumbfounded. She glanced at her son, who was beaming with pride, and wasn't sure if she should praise him for it.
He was just a little boy, yet he already knew so much. Even though she was proud of him, she couldn't help but worry. If he could already charm girls so easily at this age, who knows what he'd be capable of when he grew up?
Sean met his mother's gaze and noticed the look on her face. He scampered over to Nadine, wrapping his arms around her slender waist. "Don't worry, Mommy! I'll never make you angry. Even if I do, I'll apologize right away. I'd never let you stay mad at me overnight!
"Avery told me that the closer I am to someone, the more important it is to never let them go to bed angry. In other words, I have to resolve the issue that same night. She told me that holding it in can lead to cancerous thoughts."
Nadine was left scratching her head at the little guy's grown-up talk. How could someone so young be so wise?
With a helpless expression, she pinched his chubby cheeks. "Aren't you a smart little rascal? Don't worry, I could never stay mad at you because you're my precious lil' baby!"
