Baby Zone Day 24

by cAmilla Wu

A stone.

Celery.

Scallions.

An abacus.

A duck egg.

A chicken egg.

On the twenty-fourth day.

Yes, Baby, we are ready.

Hush, Baby, no worries.

Hush, Baby, please hush.

It is the day for you to have the bravery. 

A stone for your bravery to make right decisions.

The bravery that people would admire.

It is the day for you to have the diligence.

Celery for your diligence to complete tasks.

The diligence that leads you to a humble world.

 It is the day for you to have the intelligence.

Scallions for your intelligence to solve problems.

The intelligence that brings you wisdom

to overcome difficulties and tackle obstacles.

It is the day for you to be responsible for your finance.

An abacus for you to caculate your property smartly and precisely.

The finance that helps you

to support the family and those who are in need.

Look, Baby, look carefully.

Look at yourself carefully in the mirror.

Rolling a chicken egg on your face

is the way to make sure

that the shape of your face is just as beautiful as the egg.

 Listen, Baby, please listen.

Listen closely to your own heartbeat.

Rolling a duck egg on your chest to strengthen your heart

is the way for you to have a healthy life.

Your being here has cheered and glorified us.

The spirit of the twenty-four deeds that honor the parents

carries the mission of the tradition on your twenty-fourth day.

May you have a wonderful relationship

with friends and a happy marriage with great relatives in the future.

Hush, Baby, no worries.

Yes, Baby, you are ready.
