Mom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me But I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some!

I understand this, but Im serious about running. Its the only thing Ive ever wanted to do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they dont allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks its too strict or unfair,” says Mrs. Liu. “But we think were doing the right thing.
