Little Zhuly was not happy today!
She was clinging to mom’s arm, holding on tightly, not wanting to let go. But mom needed to step away for just a moment.
As soon as mom tried to put her down, Zhuly’s eyes widened in shock. Wait… what?! Mom is leaving me?!
Before mom could take a single step, Zhuly let out the loudest cry! “WAAAHHHH!” she screamed, throwing her little arms in the air. Her tiny face turned red, and her tears started rolling down like a little waterfall.
She stomped her tiny feet and shook her head furiously, refusing to accept this betrayal. “No, no, no! Mom, don’t go!”
Mom turned back and tried to calm her. “Zhuly, sweetheart, I’ll be right back! Just for a moment!” she said gently.
But Zhuly wasn’t listening. She grabbed onto mom’s leg, crying even louder, making sure mom knew just how upset she was.
Seeing her little baby so heartbroken, mom sighed and smiled. “Oh, my spoiled little girl,” she whispered, picking Zhuly up again.
As soon as mom held her, Zhuly immediately stopped crying and snuggled into mom’s chest, letting out a tiny huff as if saying, “That’s right, mom. You belong to me!”
Mom kissed her head and laughed softly, “You’re such a dramatic little monkey, aren’t you?”
And just like that, Zhuly was happy again—safe in mom’s arms where she belonged.
