One late afternoon I was giving some girls Frozen princesses coloring pages when Sean approached and asked me if I can print "only Olaf" for him. I quickly replied, "Okay, next time." This made him smile, "Tomorrow? Promise?" "Sure," I nodded and went on my way.
That was two days ago. Earlier this afternoon, I went in a classroom and Sean approached me. "You said you will make Olaf for me. You broke your promise." I was stunned.
Then I remembered our conversation a few days ago. I smiled at him and apologized for forgetting. Then I quickly went to the office and printed his Olaf coloring page. Sean was ecstatic when I gave it t him. He showed it t his friends proudly saying that I made it for him.
Sometimes I take this things for granted. I am happy that I had this wake up call today. Never break promises. It may be simple or silly at times but to the person you are making the promise to, it's the world.
