One night, Suzy’s mother had made a simple dinner after a long, hard day at work. She placed eggs, milk and burnt toast in front of Suzy’s dad. All her dad did was to reach for his toast, smile at his wife and ask Suzy about her day. Suzy saw him smear butter and jam on the toast and eat every bite! As they finished their dinner, Suzy heard her mom apologising to her dad for burning the toast. “But I love burnt toast, dear!” he said. That night, Suzy went to kiss her dad good night and asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He held her in his arms and said, “Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt toast doesn’t hurt anyone! Learning to accept one another’s faults is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy and lasting relationship.”
