【小衝浪說】Hate

“Daddy,”吃晚飯的時候，小衝浪看著我，主動跟我說，“Hate keeps the world alive.”

“What?!”我確認自己沒聽錯，然後問他，“Who told you that?”

“I read it in a book.”他說。

“Which book?”我問。

“Dog man.”他說。

“That's not correct.”有了一點時間緩衝，我開始反擊，“Love keeps the world alive.”

“Really?”輪到他問了。

“Right. You see, daddy and mommy love you. That's why we spend so much time and energy taking care of you, from 7 am in the morning until you go to bed in the evening. On the weekend, we take you to the park to ride your bike. And we buy toys for you and give you gifts. We do all these for you  willingly because daddy and mommy love you.”我長篇大論了一通。

小衝浪看著我，沒再說什麽，不知道是不是剛才我說到哪裏的時候已經lost him。

天，我想，那些本Dog man的書，真的這樣亂寫一氣的嗎？豈有此理哈，我得一頁一頁自己都過一遍才行。
