Girl Throws Mom’s Pencil-Box Present In The Trash, So She Makes Her Use A Really Lame One Instead

From a comfy bed to a hot shower, we take a lot of stuff for granted. So our mind preoccupies us with thoughts about the things we don’t have. And makes us miserable. We need to fight it, and a good way to rebel against these negative impulses is reminding ourselves to value the little things around us. Like a pencil box.

When Haley Hassell from Cantonment, Florida, bought her daughter Presleigh a L.O.L. Surprise! Pencil Box, she thought the little girl will like it. However, instead of being grateful for the present, the girl said it was stupid because a lot of her classmates already had it.

Fighting her anger, Haley came up with a brilliant way to give Presleigh a wake-up call. The mom threw the pencil box in the trash and gave her a Ziploc bag instead. Afterward, she shared the reasoning behind her actions to Facebook, and parents applauded her quick thinking. So far, the post has received over 134K likes and 60K shares, and let’s hope Presleigh appreciates the lesson as much as the internet did.
