Little A Tong was playing happily with his toy when suddenly—
“CRASH!”
His toy fell and broke.
A Tong’s eyes widened. His tiny lips quivered.
Then—his emotions took over.
“WAAAAAHHH!!” he screamed, his little legs kicking the floor.
His heart pounded. Tears welled up.
He needed MOM.
Without thinking, A Tong sprang up and RAN.
“MOMMMM!!” he sobbed, arms outstretched, his little feet pattering across the floor.
Jasmine and Minea jumped aside as he rushed past.
Emma blinked. “Uh-oh… Someone’s having a moment.”
But A Tong didn’t care.
His whole world felt broken.
Then—there she was.
MOM.
Sitting on the couch, unaware that a sobbing baby tornado was charging at her.
“MOMMMYYYY!!!”
Before she could react—A Tong leaped into her arms.
TIGHT HUG.
His little face buried into her chest, his sobs shaking his tiny body.
Mom held him close, stroking his back.
“Oh, my baby… What’s wrong?” she whispered.
A Tong sniffled. “Toy… broke… sad…”
Mom rocked him gently. “Shh, it’s okay, love. Mommy’s here.”
A Tong hiccupped. His little arms tightened around her.
And slowly… his cries faded into soft sniffles.
