“What’s in the red box, sweetheart?”
“Something special, grandpa. I saw a man on television carrying a red box. People said it had very important things inside.”
Grandpa was growing very curious.
“Can you keep a secret, grandpa?”
Grandpa nodded so the contents were revealed one at a time.
“A photo of us all together to show our family, a drawing of a heart to show our love, smiles for us when we’re sad and cuddles for us to keep us warm.”
The grandchild paused, “Grandpa, what do you think was in the television man’s red box?”
“Nothing as important as yours, sweetheart.”
