兒女笑談 105

我那一對寶氣兒女，一個正在青春期，一個還不肯跨進，卻被那個正在青春期的，天天逼得，猛灌一氣一堆知識，讓小兒又羨又怕 . 在我開車時，飯桌上，經常惹得我忍俊不禁，求饒不止。

前天周日的一幕。

我喊倆兒女：走了，去教會了。

兒： No, I went church for teeneger fellowship on Friday night already.

女： You couldn’t worship god twice a week?

兒： Yeah, but you said I am pre-teen now. I want go for fellowship only.

女： You are not kid anymore. You heard that my friends all call you big brother. You will be big like them soon.

兒： When I will be? They have mustache already.

女： You will have buffy hair over your body.

兒： I have it on my arm. Probably I have some on my chest.

女： Yoooou! You will see, It’s hard to adapt into it when that period coming, especially for girls, like period thingie.

此時，我以為兒子會很難為情，哪知他冷靜地： I know.

女： But don’t worry, you will go through it.

兒轉向我： Mom, do you feel different when you were teen and are an adult on your face?

Not really. 你們總不會願意一直當一個貝比吧，人總要長大的。

女兒道： I like to grow, but I don’t like those thingie when going through it .

遂轉向兒子，安撫道： Don’t worry, it will be OK.
