女兒打工，老爸喝咖啡

哇，感覺真好！女兒這個周末兩天都加班，下玉米地幹活。老爸起床，送女兒下地後，自己沒事就到辦公室上網，一杯咖啡，邊喝邊聊，感覺真好－－女兒能掙錢了！可惜老爸還是享不了女兒的福－－她掙的錢，老爸連一個dime也要不到。

昨天回家的路上，女兒說：“I hate the work in the corn field now. I have to work during the week end. Dad, can we go to somewhere tomorrow?”

“Why? You have to work tomorrow.”

“I want to have a good excuse not to go to work tomorrow. A family issue is a good excuse.” 女兒裝出可憐樣。

“嗬嗬，not this weekend. Next Saturday I will take you and your brother to a state park for hiking and picnic.”

“嗚嗚。。。。No fun now to work in the field. Hot and the pay is just above the minimal wage.”女兒抱怨。

“嘿嘿，you are learning a good lesson now. That's good for you. You will study hard after this summer, right? No easy way for life. ”老爸又老生常談了。

“That's right. I will study hard so I don;t have to be a farmer in the future, how about this?”

沒錯，老爸當年的夢想呢。
