My Daughter’s Favorite Gift

At bedtime, I tucked my 5-year-old daughter into bed, the soft glow of the nightlight casting a warm, comforting light in her room. I asked her, “What was your favorite present today?” She paused, her little fingers tracing the edge of her blanket as if deep in thought. For a moment, I wondered if her answer would be something heartfelt.

After a few seconds, she looked up at me with a serious expression and said, “Spending the day with you, mummy.” My heart melted. It was the kind of response that made me feel like I was doing something right—that I was her world, and everything else could wait.

But just as I was about to savor her sweet words, she giggled and added, “Haha, not really, it was the Lego cupcake set.” My heart sank for a second, but I couldn’t help but laugh at the sudden shift in her tone. It was so innocent, a reminder of how childhood joy is often found in the simplest, most tangible things.

With a grin, she held up her Peppa Pig book, flipping through the pages with total focus. Her world seemed a blend of love, play, and fun, and it was a beautiful reminder of how pure and unpredictable childhood emotions are.
