女兒的情書
某年某月的某一天,我剛進家門就被女兒神神秘秘的領到樓上的樓梯上,要告訴我一個private 的事情,我們兩個坐在三樓的樓梯上。
Mommy, I got problem.
什麽??
You know there is a boy who likes me called Eric.
是呀,不是告訴你別理他了麽。以前女兒曾經告訴過我這件事。
Now, there is another boy likes me called Steven. He is sending me this. 女兒遞給我一張揉得皺巴巴的紙。
我一邊看一邊對女兒說,去把你們班合影拿來我看看。女兒咚咚咚跑下樓找照片去了,隻見上書
Dear XXX
please pick one from me and Eric, I think you……( 此處省略200字)
我笑啊笑,女兒拿著照片上來了。
Don’t tell anyone else, don’t laugh, It’s a problem. 小東西還蠻認真
Take it easy, it’s not your problem, it’s his problem. 我說,
哪一個?我看著照片問女兒,女兒指給我。
這麽傻,我說,自從女兒有時給我說她和誰有crash時,我就這麽打擊她,讓她懷疑自己的眼光,從而死了這條心,嗬嗬,媽媽的小陰謀,其實小孩子都挺可愛的,隻是小苗頭不對,媽媽也隻好口是心非了。
You’re right. But how could I answer him. 女兒無可奈何的說
Simple, just say no. 我說著回房間換衣服了,忽然想起了什麽,轉過身來,
把那張紙給我吧,我問女兒要她手裏的信。
Why?? 女兒問
沒收,知道嗎??給你說也白說,給我算了。我說
Ok, 女兒乖乖的給了我,我偷著樂。
晚上臨睡前我把這事說給老公聽,老公看著照片說,我說下午娘倆兒忙什麽呢,神神秘秘,原來是看女婿呢。暈,想什麽呢,睡覺。我拿過照片說,別急啊,老公說,讓我再看兩眼。嗬,他比我還當真。
轉過一個周末,我剛進家門,就被老公神神秘秘的領到書房,知道你女兒是怎麽答複人家的嗎?在電腦裏呢,自己慢慢看吧。說完樓上做飯去了。
我看到一封是Dear Eric 還有一封是 Dear Steven,就是打不開,電腦提示路徑不對。我咚咚咚跑上樓去,對正在和一條活魚頑強作戰的老公悄悄的說,打不開。Garbage 裏找,用restore .老公壓低聲音說。真是,早不說,我邊抱怨邊下樓了。
文件打開了,上書
Dear Eric,
Everheard of no pain, no gain? Well, it means you have to earn what youget. That is the exactly how I’m going to make my decision between youand Steven. If you want my heart you’ll have earn it. I’ll give you twoweeks for you to impress me. On June 10th I’ll tell you who it is. Goodluck! J
嘿,這孩子,看來要實行專政啊。一家人吃完飯,
I need talk to you. 我對女兒說
I’m busy.女兒說,反了反了
I NEED TALK TO YOU NOW!! 字大了聲音當然也大了,女兒看我火了,老老實實坐在我對麵。
How about those boys? How did you talk to them? 我說
I wrote a note for them, one side is a big happy face, the other side just wrote no. Actually this is Choice’s idea. 女兒答道
Look at my eyes. I’ll give you a chance to tell me the truth, ok? 我說
Ok, actually I wrote another note for them, but I didn’t send it. Cause I’m afire to stack at the middle of them.女兒小聲地說
Ok, what’s that note says? 我問
I said I’ll give you two weeks for you to impress me. Really I didn’t send the notes, this is the truth. 女兒說
Ok, I trust you. If you’re not telling me the truth, you’re really in the big trouble. Get it? 直覺告訴我,我應該相信女兒一次,雖然我心裏到現在還是七上八下的。
Yes, I know. But you know what; they keep sending the notes to me.女兒接著說
Through those notes away, tell them, you both too yang to understand what love is, just leave me alone. 現在的孩子也太早熟了點吧,這才多大啊。
You don’t want the notes? 女兒問我
No 我說
Are you sure? 女兒又問
Sure, do your work now. 我說
嗬,這孩子還以為我收藏情書有癮啊,我隻不過想留一份給她做個紀念吧,畢竟是人生第一份,到時她不要我就留著,全當我家有女初長成的見證吧。
昨天我又問女兒那兩個男孩的事情,女兒告訴我,It’s over. 可是老公對我說,這才剛開始,不覺得你女兒越長越漂亮了嗎。哎,福兮禍兮?!任重而道遠兮!
