Custody Case
A man and his young wife were in divorce court, but the custody of their children posed a problem. The mother gets up and says to the judge that since she brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them. (same like you are the introducer.)
The man also wanted custody of his children, so the judge asked for his justification. After a long silence, the man slowly rose from his chair and replied, "Your Honor, when I put a dollar in a vending machine and a Coke comes out, does the Coke belong to me or the machine?"  |
Maybe I understand the moral of it.....
Can you let me extend the story of the custody case?
Let say the verdict is that the children were given to the husband and now under the custody of the husband.
The mother could not do anything but just hope that she may see the children once a while because she loves the children very much. All these years, she has been a good mother and brought up the children in love. The children also have been loving the mother.
However, when the mother came to visit the children, they were rude to her. Refused to talk to her much and unfriendly to her. This situation repeats few times until one day the mother invited them out for dinner. During dinner, she saw her children playing with other children nearby and greeted their parents politely. The children were polite to waiters too. However, quite indifference to the mother.
The next visit, the mother also experienced the same so she asked the children politely whether they are unhappy or some issue. The children just replied by saying they have no feelings for the mother now. The mother became so sad because her children even treated strangers better by greeting them and calling them uncles and auntie but never address their mother.

So what do you have to say about the children's attitude? Treating strangers even better than their mother and the mother did the children no wrong. The mother is not even asking for custody now, just visit the children and chat with them only because she loves them.
