When I was small，my mom used to give the family a funny special treat from time to time﹣she would make breakfast food for dinner．
I remember she did so one night．She had been at work all day but wanted to do something special for us all．On that evening．my mom put a plate of eggs and very burnt toast（ 面包）in front of my dad．I waited to see if anyone noticed．But my dad just took his toast，smiled at my mom and asked me how my day at school had been．I don't remember what I told him that night．But I remember watching him put butter on that toast．He ate it up as usual．
After dinner，I remember hearing my mom apologizeto my dad for burning the toast．I'll never forget what he said："Honey，I love burnt toast．"Later that night，I went to kiss daddy good night．
I asked him if he really liked his toast burnt，He wrapped（ 紧抱）me in his arms and said："Your mommy worked very hard today．She's really tired．And a bit of burnt toast never hurt anyone!"
Life is full of imperfect things．Nobody is perfect，either．I'm not the best at anything．I forget birthdays and other important events just like everyone else does．But I've learned something important from my father．Understanding is the basis of everything，whether between a husband and wife，a parent and child or just between two friends．Remember，burnt toast never hurt anyone．It's the people with the kind thoughts who make life worth living．
