棗樹

 

Mommy~ How did you and Daddy get to know each other?

 

我和你爸是同班同學

 

That's it!? That Simple?

 

是啊！

 

No! I want stories, and details

 

小小不依不饒的

 

Where did you first kiss my Daddy?

 

在一棵棗樹下

 

Like the date tree in our back yard

and the ones in Granny's yard in China ?

 

我點點頭

 

我讓你爸到我家做作業

做完作業就去院裏玩兒

我摘了顆紅棗塞他嘴裏

他的臉一下紅得比那棗都透

 

(怎麽覺得臉上熱了一下)

 

哈哈，爸爸也知道羞羞

Did you two kiss then?

 

Yah~ My dear

 

Oh~~ How Sweet and Romantic!

Did my Daddy swear to you under the dating tree?

 

No

 

When I find my boyfriend, I would make him swear first.

Should I kiss him under the dating tree?

 

Up to you, my dear little

 

女兒滿意地跑開了

 

(心裏真像吃了酒棗般的
有一點甜甜的醉）

 

 

 

[七絕] 棗樹

 

-- 贈鴛鴦對

 

青棗澀羞初豆蔻
半青紅果苦甘嚐
正紅熟透秋剛罩
酒棗餘香暢醉藏
