來到海外，學了“人在羅馬，就象羅馬人一樣行事”。
“羅馬人”的行為準則之一是尊重他人的私密，不問別人的年齡和收入。多年來已經養成習慣不對他人年齡收入感興趣。不過人是好奇的動物。別人的錢包我不管，但年齡有時候還是挺想知道的。不能直接打聽，就隻好間接猜測啦。可以依靠的線索就是外貌了。
麵容是與年齡有關的，但從麵貌來判斷年齡往往不會太[閱讀全文]

小孩子的工作是什麽？------玩耍！！
Akid'sjobistoplay!
小孩子當然不用工作。他們上學，上幼兒園，上學前班，在家呆著，看電視。如果有需要他們做的事的話，應該就是玩耍了。與同伴嬉笑追跑，與小朋友玩遊戲，在沙坑裏挖戰壕造城堡，搭積木過家家，或者獨自一人滑滑梯，蕩秋千，滾鐵環，畫畫兒，剪紙，看螞蟻搬家看白雲變蒼狗，可以做的事情多得不得了。讓孩子[閱讀全文]

諾曼貝爾，你錯了！班上的學生總是女生多，男生少；白人多，黑人少，諾曼符合這“二少”情況，再加他們球隊教練相當負責，不時有電郵聯係，查詢他的隊員們學業成績，所以一看到這人，我還是多少清楚，這是本班學生。
