悠小子寫東西，能懶則懶，能不寫就不寫。遇到躲不過去的，也很“摳”，能省則省。 夏天出門轉了那麼一大圈，回來後，手巧的丫丫，不用點撥，不用眼色，嘩啦啦幾篇遊記就定稿了。然後鋪開場子，開始剪貼排版，裝點遊記相冊。悠小子在邊上晃來晃去，遊手好閒，我說：兒子啊，你也寫點遊記啥的，讓姐姐在相冊里給你騰塊地兒，貼上去，也算是你倆的teamwork哈。 小子翻眼看了看俺，知道賴是賴不過去了，然後乖乖地把身子挪到計算機前，打開文件，小手噼里啪啦一通，不出半小時，就交差來了。 “Are you ready to explore national parks? You are about to see the stops we made! The first stop we made was the Badlands, a beautiful national park. Next stop, Crazy Horse! The name of the person on the mountain is named Thasunke Witko. We still have a lot of more stops to go! Next stop is Mt. Rushmore! The faces on Mt. Rushmore are Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson. Ooh, look, it is Devil’s Tower! Devils’ Tower is 1267 feet tall and on top of Belle Fourche River. Finally, we’re here at Yellowstone National Park! It was American’s first National Park and it is the first time we spent three days there. We even saw a brown and black bear. There were tons of geyer’s and Old-Faith-WHAT?! THERE’S A BISON ON THE ROAD! Man I need to take a picture of this! Wait a second….What Mommy?! A cowboy show in Jackson Hole! Oh boy! Did you hear that we are going to a cowboy show in Jackson Hole? In Utah we went to a Mormon church. It is also known as Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-saints. Hey look at the sign! We’re in Zion National Park! It was my personal favorite because there are steep mountains made of dirt. Bryce Canyon is a canyon and there are a bunch of rocky things that look like poles down there! They are called hoodoos. Last stop： Arches National Park! Arches National Park is a place where there are big stone arches shaped like half of a circle. It was a very fun and exciting trip to all the national parks we went to! ” 兒子的大作不禁讓我莞爾，咋就覺得俺們像螞蚱呢？一蹦一跳的，一路上。 丫丫一如既往地很照顧弟弟，花了近兩個星期精心製作的50頁遊記相冊，卷首語的位置就讓給了弟弟。
上周孩子們開學了，小子回家後，帶着興奮，向俺宣告：Mommy，I am so excited I am a third grader. I am going to write third grade sentences from now on。 看來，學校老師的話就是中聽。 俺疑惑着吶，問兒子：“什麼樣的句子才像是三年級的呢？” 就是不要什麼都是“I like to…”“I want to…”。 哦。那你說一句三年級的句子給媽媽聽吧。 “Two squirrels are strolling in our backyard.” 嗯，有點意思。 昨天，小子從學校帶回來在課堂上寫的句子：On rainy days, I like to stay inside and look out the window to see the rain strike the porch. I also watch the puddles get bigger and bigger. 小子說，三年級的句子就像這個樣子。呵呵，俺好像也被兒子的句子strike了一下，管它像不像的，先收藏了再說。 |
