Bitter Sweet

A few days ago walking home with Peanut and a girl classmate, Peanut saw this yellow flower on the grass and picked it up. As usual, I assumed it was for me so I reached out to take it. As he was about to hand it over to me his arms took a turn, face animated and quietly told me "I am going to give this to Harper." With glee in his eyes, I felt betrayed, rejected and joy mixed together. I was sad that I was not the first person he wants to give the flower to anymore. He had another girl in mind!! I felt proud because my boy is sweet to offer a flower to a girl. The following few seconds made me bust out laughing and remain sad...

P: Harper this flower is for you.

She took the flower and immediately threw it down on the grass.

H: I don't want it.

Peanut picked it up and turned to look at me with a saddest face and pouty lips. He said "I will give it to my mama."

I took it immediately reassuring him I love the beautiful flower but at the same time felt the embarrassed rejection for him.

No harm done to the kids. They went on walking and singing as if nothing happened. I am left with two rejection scars in my heart.
