111. Surprise

At the back of every little kid's mind, there is a small hope of getting a surprise from their parents. "Maybe Mom will take me to Disneyland today instead of school." "Maybe Dad will give me a puppy for my birthday." Even though for many kids, the likelihood is close to none, there's still that small spark of hope somewhere deep inside.

However, as we grow older, we realize that these fantasies are unrealistic as we live year by year without such surprises. Not long, we forget we even once had these wishful expectations.

But... would we lose hope and forget if the surprise were a promise?
