A friend and I were standing in line at the grocery store the other day, and I was telling her how lazy my children were.I had come in from work that morning, and like most times, my house was wrecked. "I believe children nowadays are just out for what they can get.They can never help keep our house clean." I said, feeling unhappy. "Do you know how happy you are?" a woman behind us asked."I would love to go home and find my house a mess.I wouldn't mind my floor being dirty.Nor would I mind the dirty clothes being piled high.I wouldn't even mind anyone talking about my dirty home.I would love it.I would love to kick my way through the house just to get to my kids and be able to hug them, kiss them and tell them how much I love them.You see, my two children were killed in an accident. My house stays clean; my clothes stay put up; the dishes are done." "There are no fingerprints on my walls.There are no sounds of arguing, either.So you see, you are very lucky.I would give anything to be going through what you are now! How I'd love to be able to hold my kids, wipe away their tears and share their dreams! I wouldn't care how my house looked.I would be happy just to have them." Now if you come into my house and see a big mess, you can think bad thoughts if you want, but I feel greatly blessed.(268 words) What is the main idea of the passage?
Children shouldn't be left home alone. A mother lost her children in an accident. People should be thankful for what life gives. A mother complained about the mess at her house.
