Tales from childhood: Mother.

Sophie's mother worked very long. But when she had free time and holidays she always paid attention to her daughter. Mother and daughter visited cafe, shops, and yard together. Sophie loved her Mom!

Little Lara had another situation. Lara's mother worked very often, too. But she not always walked with her daughter. Grandfather walked with Lara during holidays. Also, Lara visited full day kindergarten. Very rarely, the mother took the child.

Sophie and Lara played together. When Lara's mother was in the yard she used the mobile phone. Young woman wore very beautiful dresses and skirts.

If Lara said stupid things or something else, Sophie didn't pay attention. Because she was older and wiser.
