Early in the morning, CUTIS woke up with excitement, knowing today was special. Dad was working far from home, and Mom planned to bring him a warm homemade lunch. CUTIS eagerly volunteered to help, proud to become Mom’s little assistant for the day.
In the kitchen, Mom prepared Dad’s favorite dishes while CUTIS carefully washed vegetables, arranged plates, and packed the food into neat containers. Every small task made CUTIS feel important. He checked the lids twice, making sure nothing would spill, and even added a handwritten note that read, “We love you, Dad!” His eyes sparkled with happiness as he imagined Dad’s smile.
When everything was ready, they set out together. CUTIS carried the small lunch bag with both hands, walking carefully so the food would stay safe and warm. Along the way, he chatted cheerfully, sharing stories and asking Mom questions about cooking and family traditions. The journey felt short because of his excitement.
Upon reaching Dad’s workplace, CUTIS spotted him from afar and ran over, calling his name. Dad turned around in surprise, his tired face instantly lighting up. Seeing CUTIS and Mom standing there with a warm meal brought him great joy. CUTIS proudly handed over the lunch bag, explaining how he helped prepare everything.
They sat together and shared the meal. Dad praised CUTIS for being responsible and thoughtful, which made him stand a little taller. The simple dishes tasted extra delicious because they were filled with love and care. For a moment, all worries faded away, replaced by laughter and warmth.
Before leaving, CUTIS hugged Dad tightly, wishing him a good day. Dad gently patted his head, thanking him for the sweet surprise. As they walked back home, CUTIS felt proud and happy, knowing he had helped bring comfort to his family.
That day taught CUTIS that small acts of kindness can create big happiness. Being Mom’s little helper made him realize how wonderful it feels to care for others, turning an ordinary day into a precious memory full of love.
