捣乱的儿子

某天在和我爸妈msn。说了一半的话,突然网断了。
我们家这个网本身就很不稳定。所以当下谁也没在意,该干嘛干嘛。
到了夜里快睡觉了,视察工作的领导很不满的圈阅,这网也太差劲了吧,还不来。要不咱换东家?
我便也觉得不对劲,好像哪次也没断这么久嘛。
到墙角去研究了一下,modem被人给关掉了。
网断的时候,儿子就在那个旮旯摸索着啥呢。

某天我在家假装工作。儿子在旁边自己玩耍。
玩儿厌了,就找我要东西。
我看左近也没啥,就把电话递给他了。
他鼓捣了一阵,突然电话那边传出有人说话的声音。
我大惊,赶紧夺过电话匆忙挂掉。
没半秒钟呢,电话那边又打回来,接起来一听,“This is 911 of Plano...Did you just dial 911 ? Is there some kind of emergency?"

后进的儿子

一个周末过去,抱着儿子进幼儿园,惊讶滴发现,比儿子小半岁的一对儿双胞胎,双双的完成了从猴子向人的转变,站起来行动撩~我们的儿子啊~还是爬行动物.眼瞅着都十五个月了,前台通知我说,要给儿子升班.我大惊.升班的话,就叫个young toddler了,偶们还不toddle呢,咋升?赶紧去求他们,别不拿我们大龄爬行动物当动物.于是乎,儿子这才一岁多,奏闹了个留级~

儿子留在这个班里,成了老大.
坐在地上的老大.
坐在地上光着脚的老大.
他们班上,就连只会躺着喘气的胖子logan,都很体面的穿上了鞋袜.我们这个老大,则是软硬不吃油盐不进,只要你作出一个要给他穿鞋的动作了,立刻开始委屈难受.就算厮打着给他穿上了,他也一定要号哭到把鞋脱下来为止.

在旁边听着我跟老师抱怨儿子怎么还这么后进的胖子默默的听了很久,出门以后安慰我道,
mommy, you told me you don't want us to grow up.
so darrell listened to you
he is a good boy!

人类历史上第二可怕的梦

mommy i had a dream.
in the dream, i was thrown into a trash can.
it was a people trash can.
there were a lot of people in the trash can.
some are crying, some are laughing.
but i am not scared.

(well... your mommy is scared when picturing this...)

儿子 vs. 女儿

儿子十四个半月了,还在满地乱爬
女儿十一个月就开始跑来跑去

儿子只吃妈妈做的吃的.
女儿非吃学校的不可.

儿子的school report上面一般是"sweet boy", "mellow", "gentle".
女儿当年的school report从来都是咬过谁推过谁打过谁.

如果你说,give me a kiss,儿子会晃着大脑袋慢慢慢慢的凑过来,轻轻的用鼻子嘴贴贴你的脸.
如果几年前你跟我女儿说这个,她一般都是边跑掉边怒吼,NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

儿子白花花,女儿黑黝黝.

但是,两个人有一样的笑容,跳相同的蹲蹲舞,睡觉的时候都像自由落体,都是盯着妈妈叫爸爸,会说的第一个爸爸妈妈以外的词全是灯.

宠物人生

根据我短暂的研究很少量的美国儿童文学得来的经验,他们美国人,对小动物的热爱,那是令人发指的.而我们家胖子呢,别的本事没有,跟人学她是专家.所以啊,这个风,她要是不跟,她就是我妈.
故此,和胖子有关宠物的谈话,我已经在脑子里面演习过很多遍.
昨天,胖子终于没有辜负我对她的期望与了解,给了我一次应用这个对话的机会.

-mommy, i have been thinking about pets recently.
(好家伙的,这个语法用的...)so?
-i've decided i need a pet. do you know where the pet store is?
(你决定?!小美国人就是狠啊,都是先发制人的路数儿)等等等等,你先跟妈妈说,你想要什么pet?
-a rabbit or a fish
(娃胆小就是好啊~我先扔个大词来吓唬吓唬她)well, i am glad you love animals (嗯,这个对话呢,中英文全有,主要是因为,爱啊啥的...偶中文实在是说不出来). but do you know a pet is a huge responsibility?
-what is responsibility?
-(娃哈哈哈哈,上套儿了吧)responsibility就是责任啊.你要是养一只兔子,那么兔子就是你的了.就好比妈妈要喂弟弟,要给弟弟换yucky diaper,要陪他玩儿,带他睡觉,跟你玩儿的时间少了一样.你要一直一直照顾兔子,你就没有时间玩儿了.
-then how about fish?
-(娃她还真不傻)
-well, fish we can talk.爸爸要是同意,妈妈就没意见.

我太景仰自己了我,这个局面让我handle的,有理有力有节,还有love.
正在陶醉,胖子又晃过来了.
-mommy, do you know pets will die?
-(晕倒...你你你你)huh?
-katherine had a hamster and then he died. what is die? ryan said die is become smushy and yucky, right mom?
-(这种局面...我只有拽英文了)well... yes, pets might die. when they die, they look like they are sleeping. it's just they won't talk to you or play with you anymore.
-then how come they die? how do they die? they become smushy?
-(抹抹汗,继续拽)well... when pets get old or sick, they will die, they don't become smushy. (actually they do... sorry kiddo)
-mommy, will people die?! (流露出害怕的表情)
-(口干舌燥大脑生锈ing)pets live a short short life, people will live a long long long long life, so you don't worry about that, ok?
-ok.but mom, where will dead pets go?
-(开始scream了)HEAVEN!妈妈炒菜呢,你你你你问爸爸去好不好?!

-daddy, do you know pets will go to heaven?what is heaven? where is heaven?
-heaven is up in the sky, above the cloud...(偶们家都酱紫,好像不会回答的问题,骗孩子啥的,说英文就比较容易了)
(此处省略why ah什么的还有她爸张口结舌抓耳挠腮最后急赤白脸等等细节一万字)
-爸爸喂弟弟呢,你问妈妈去吧.

-mommy,what does it look like?
-(狗急跳墙ing)没人知道,因为去了heaven的就没有回来过.
终于,被惊到了.
-i've decided i don't want a pet any more cuz they might die.
-GOOD FOR YOU! (FOR ME I MEAN)妈妈从来都没有过pet,你看妈妈不也长大了好好儿的.
-and actually i've already got a pet!
-我看看她手里抓着的毛绒玩具.对啊,你有好多好多小动物了已经!
-不是啊!他们是假的!DARRELL IS MY PET!he's messy, he crawls, he cries, he's my pet!
得意洋洋的走了,去捅她弟弟去了.生老二的又一个优越性就这样体现出来了,我长出一口气.

可怕的紫色

儿子洗澡一直用小宝宝的泡泡浴液,lavender和别的什么乱七八糟的安神的花香的.放在紫色的瓶子里面.
关心全家疾苦的胖子自然要关心到这个.
妈妈弟弟为什么要用紫色的啊,boy should use blue!妈妈这个是什么smell啊,妈妈这个上面写的是什么啊?
经过长期实践考验的妈妈想了一个除了"shut up"以外最短的答案,
是紫色的lavender,会帮弟弟睡觉.

几天以后,听到胖子和她的小熊有了酱紫的对话,
要睡觉了啊,乖乖睡觉啊,妈妈给你盖紫色的毯毯,是紫色的lavender啊,会帮你睡觉...

再几天以后,我跟胖子有了酱紫的对话,
胖子,穿这个裤子好不好?
不好!
为什么不好?
因为是紫色的!紫色的lavender,会帮我睡觉,我刚起来,我不要睡觉!

几胖

一天忙完,总算是要哄两个家伙上床了,看着一大一小两个跟屁虫,颇有成就感的一声大喊,大胖!二胖!爬楼梯了~~~~~~~~
大胖跟在后面,一如既往的说个不停.
妈妈,谁是大胖谁是二胖啊.
废话嘛你不是,你们俩啊,你要是不知道我叫你们俩,你跟过来干嘛?!
我们俩又不是大胖和二胖.我不大,爸爸才大呢,爸爸是大人,darrell是小人,妈妈你和我是medium人.妈妈什么是medium啊?
我还没顾上回答这个问题呢,下一个又跟着来了.
darrell也不是二胖啊,他一岁,他是一胖.
这个...我还没张开嘴要解释呢,这个人说话好像是不用喘气啊...
对,darrell是一胖,我是四胖,我马上就要五胖了.妈妈你是三十三胖!
