But tonight auntie Olga,  taught me a new word "stubborn".

So I decided not to be stubborn, and to ask for help sometimes.

The little girl's reply makes the 4 adults in the room smile.

Olga: My little and smart doll. I know someone in this room who should learn a lot from you.

Massimo's and Laura's eyes go to Olga, but this time they didn't object anything.

Although it was hard for them to admit it, they knew that Olga was right.

Domenico brings the chair and places it in front of the sofa as Maya requested.

Domenico: Your seat, princess!

Maya: (smiling at him) Thank you uncle! You are a true gentleman . Auntie is so lucky.

The little girl's reply surprises Domenico and Olga, who look at each other a little embarrassed.

Maya sits on the chair brought by Domenico, opens the first aid kit and carefully places everything in the kit on the sofa.

Maya: (looking at Massimo) I'll be right back, don't move!

The little girl gets up from the chair and goes to the bathroom, leaving the 4 without reaction.

In a short time, the little girl turns and sits again on the chair in front of the sofa.

Maya: Uncle, I'm going to need your help.

Domenico: Of course, princess! How can I help?

Handing the bottle of disinfectant to Domenico.

Maya: I'd like you to help me disinfect my hands, then help me put on these surgical gloves.

Domenico looks at the little girl in amazement, trying to understand what is happening.

Maya: Trust me, uncle, I know what I'm doing.

The little girl's answer came so firmly, that Domenico decided to fulfill her request, without asking any more questions.

Maya: Thank you, uncle, you are an excellent assistant!

Domenico: (smiling) I am honored to be your assistant, beautiful young lady.

Maya: (looking at Laura and Olga) Mommy, auntie , I think you'd better leave the room!

I know you don't like to see blood.

I will treat Massimo's hand, and that involves images that are difficult for two ladies to look at.

Don't worry, I have the best assistant here by my side. Uncle will help me in case I need it.

All 4 at once: You will do what?

Maya: (looking at them extremely calmly) I'm going to bandage Massimo's hand. He's been bleeding for some time now, it's dangerous!

Massimo: My little miracle, it's very nice of you to want to help me, but there's no need, I'm fine!

Maya: What do you mean by no need? Of course it is needed, you need your hand to be bandaged. Earlier, when I was scared and crying in the rain in the middle of the road, you were there for me, now it's my turn to help you.

Massimo: (looking at the little girl with tears in his eyes) Princess, but...

Maya: Don, ascoltami attentamente! Non c'è ma. So che sei testardo, ma posso essere molto più testardo di te. E poi, non ti ho chiesto il permesso di fasciarti la mano, ti ho solo informato che questo è quello che farò. Quindi, per favore, rilassati e lascia che mi prenda cura della tua mano.

Maya: Don, listen to me carefully! There is no but. I know you are stubborn, but I can be much more stubborn than you. And besides, I didn't ask for your permission to bandage your hand, I just informed you that this is what I'm going to do. So please relax and let me take care of your hand.
