小儿子搞不清 cute, pretty, 和handsome 的区别,常常对我说:“You are so cute in that ... (dress, shirt, whatever)”。哥哥这时就会说:“You are not supposed to use that word to describe your mom!!”。 后来,小子学乖了,改成更肉麻的“Mom, you are gorgeous!”晕!这小子才六岁,就会这套讨女人喜欢的功夫,以后他的老婆还不得给他腻死? 小儿晚上睡觉容易醒,醒过来就跑到我们房间,叫我过去陪他。我就等他睡着后再回到自己床上。有天夜里,他醒来好几次,搞得我一夜没睡好。第二天一早还得开车送他去西北大学 Center for Talent Development 的夏令营。中午在麦当劳吃饭时,我一个劲地打哈欠。这小子一边吃一边盘算待会儿回家后干什么,是先玩电脑呢还是玩游戏机。忽然他像想起什么似地问:“What are you going to do when we get home, Mom?"我没好气地说:“睡觉!”。“Why?"”Because I didnt sleep at all last night since you woke me up all the time!" 他不说话了。过了一会儿,他很认真地说:“You know, you should care about yourself first, then take care of me"。 我晕!昨天晚上他一趟趟跑到我房间的时候怎么没有想到要我“care about myself first?" |
