我常常會揶揄我那傻兒子: 當媽媽老了的時候, 是住在你家還是姐姐家呢? 如果你們的 wife or husband 不喜歡,媽媽還是自己住? 八歲時,兒子就說, 最好住在我的隔壁,我要給你買一個mansion. 並問我要幾個 bathroom。 我說:媽媽一個人,一個廁所就夠了嘛。 兒子卻回答說:你還要開 party, 還有aunt (我姐姐)要來住,你需要三個廁所。 我問他:你哪兒有那麽多錢呢? 他總是回答說:I will make big money, like one thousand, I will buy a mansion for you.. Sister will buy food for you! 那你長大了想幹什麽? 兒答到:I want be a police or FBI.
除了貝比時,兒子總把自己當成電視錄像裏的男主角:王子,Superman, 各路英雄好漢之外,Police or FBI 就一直是他崇拜的偶象,直到今天還沒改變.
說起wife or husband, 我的一雙寶裏寶氣的兒女有過如此的討論: 兒子八歲, 女兒十三。
兒子:I don’t know if I will get married, I don’t have any girl likes me yet. I have a crush on a girl, but she doesn’t know. 女兒:You are too little to think about marrige now. You don’t know what love means. That is not love, but likeness. 兒子:I’m worry how I could do if my wife is bad, should I divorce her? 女兒:Go find a christian, stupid? 兒子:I could not divorce, even I don’t love her anymore? 女兒:You should be responsible for your family, not only yourself.
這個話題太大了,我也不知如何回答,就暫且讓姐姐教教弟弟的責任心吧。至於具體的問題,等他長大了,自有智慧明斷。 |
