A

As a dad， Ive had quite a few wonderful moments in my life. One of them appeared on a Saturday afternoon when I was taking my then 13-year-old son Justin and his friend Aron to see a movie. As we entered the movie theater， I noticed the ticket seller had undercharged （少要了錢） me， so I asked the boys to wait a moment when I returned the money. This did not please the boys， who were impatient to get the best seats.

At the same time， I suffered angry glares （怒視） from the people in line and even a dissatisfied action from the cashier （收銀員）， who corrected the mistake. When I returned， Aaron， who got very angry because the best seats had already been taken， asked， “Why did you have to do that？ It was her mistake， not yours.”

Before I started a talk on honesty， my son， who was also angry， looked at his friend and said， “What did you expect him to do？”

Many years later， this memory is an inspiring reminder （回憶） of the influence we have on the character of our kids. Hearing from my son that he expected me to be honest and knew I expected the same of him was like a pat on the back saying Id done okay as a father.

My son， still one of the most honest people I know， realized that honesty is neither a convenience nor a choice. To a person who values honesty， its a habit.

As a father， its hard to know whats working and what isnt， but one of the best reward for attentive parenting （撫養） is seeing something good in our kids and knowing we play an important part in their lives.

It was Saturday morning and I asked seven-year-old Kelley to let her daddy take her to gym class. But she didnt agree. I explained that some friends would visit our house that day and I had to clean the house. But the truth was， I had spent 20 years watching Kelleys five elder brothers and sisters take lessons and I just wanted to get out of it. However， seeing Kelley was going to cry， I decided to do this once more.

Looking through the door， I watched as the teacher led the students to a rope hanging in the corner of the gym. One after another， each child in line climbed up the thick rope while the teacher held it at the bottom. Then it was Kelleys turn—the youngest in the class. With a big smile， she climbed higher and higher. Then it happened. About halfway up， the teacher loudly warned， “Dont go up any farther than youre able to come down.”

Kelley halted... Then slowly moved down all the way to the floor. I knew she was heading to the top of that rope and was perfectly capable （能夠） of reaching it. Why did she stop？ I questioned her on the way home.

“Kelley， could you have climbed all the way to the top？”

“Yes，” she quietly replied.

“Then why didnt you keep going？”

Silence.

“Was it because of what the teacher said？” I asked.

She nodded （點頭）.

I knew it was time to teach.

“Kelley， dont let anybody make you doubt yourself. Dont ever let anyone keep you from knowing what you can do... Even though they seem bigger， or smarter or older. Will you remember that？” I said.

“Yes！” she answered quickly.

I was glad I chose to take Kelley to the class and got the opportunity to teach her an important lesson.
