A TV personality who taught children how to make origami on a kids’ show during the 1980s and 1990s made a comeback in front of viewers after about 20 years. Known affectionately as the “Origami Uncle,” he had once captured children’s imaginations with his warm voice and skillful hands, quickly folding paper into all sorts of shapes. The kids who used to sit in front of the TV with colorful paper, glue, and scissors to follow along had now grown up, and they warmly welcomed his return.
As he recreated an origami session, bringing back fond memories, he jokingly said in his familiar, friendly tone,
“If it’s too hard, just ask your mom for help.”
Soon, someone commented in the live online chat, “My mom is in her 60s now!” Seeing the message, the Origami Uncle replied, “Then go into your mom’s room and ask her, ‘Can you help me tape this, Mom?’ She would love it!” His words touched the hearts of many viewers.
Sometimes, even small things—like asking for help and spending a little time together—can be a beautiful act of love and appreciation for our mothers.
