Mae woke up with the brightest smile, today was her birthday, worth the while! She'd dreamed about a squishy, soft and pink, the rarest one, she thought with a wink. At breakfast, Mom gave her a gentle squeeze, "Happy birthday, sweetheart, open presents please!" Mae clapped her hands and bounced with glee, "I hope my pink squishy's there to see!" She rushed to find the gifts wrapped tight, her special day felt just so right!

Mae's Birthday Dream

Mae tore the paper, one by one, a book, some crayons—nothing fun. A purple sweater, soft and new, but not the squishy she wanted too. She frowned and crossed her arms up tight, "This isn't what I dreamed last night!" Her face turned sad, her voice went low, "Where's my pink squishy? I want to know!" Mom watched her daughter, looking lost, and felt her heart sink at the loss.

Opening Presents

Mom sat beside Mae, soft and calm, and gently held her daughter's palm. "Mae, sweetie, let's think this through; so many people care for you. These gifts were chosen with such love, each one a treasure from above. Being grateful is what we do, even when dreams don't all come true." Mae looked down at her presents there and felt a little happier.

A Gentle Lesson

"Wait," said Mom with twinkling eyes, "There's one more gift—a small surprise." From behind her back, she brought a box wrapped in pink paper with dots. Mae opened it with trembling hands; inside—the squishy from her dream! "Oh, Mom!" she cried, hugging her tight. "You taught me right from wrong! I'm grateful for it all, it's true, but most of all, I'm grateful for you!"
