膽小怕摔的兒子，對學溜冰一直不敢試，怎麽鼓勵也沒有用。學校組織的溜冰活動，他都是一個人在外麵玩。最近after-school program一連好幾次去溜冰，在老師的鼓勵下，兒子終於鼓起勇氣，去試了幾次。摔了幾跤後，昨晚又去參加學校的溜冰活動。在媽媽４塊錢的激勵下，終於學會了。昨晚一到家，就激動的衝老爸喊：“I know how to roller-skate now! I did 20 circles today!”
“Really? Is it true, mom?”
“Yes, he did. It is not hard at all, right?”
兒子一激動，就開始教導老爸了：“You can do it, dad. I can teach you.”
老爸這把老骨頭，還是別去折騰。隻好回答： “No way. If I go, I might break my bone. You remember Grace's dad fell and broke his leg? Even the ambulance came by to take him to the hospital.”
那是幾年前的事了。兒子的同學的爸爸溜冰時摔斷了腿，被抬上救護車呢。兒子知道讓老爸去沒戲，隻好回頭去找老媽要錢：“Mom, you said 4 dollars. Don't forget to give me the money.”
唉，財迷就是財迷。
