~like father, like daughter~
~有其父必有其女~



Whenever we go on a trip, my son and daughter always sing along with their Papa. My husband is a very happy person, he has a wonderful personality and with his loud voice, he is always at the center of a party. I beam with pride and ask the kids, "Didn't I choose the best papa for you! " they would laugh and say thanks mommy, "Papa knows everything!"

Time traces back to 1992, a month after I first met my future husband through work, he flew back to California, so we exchanged emails daily (sealed with a kiss) and talked on the phone whenever we had a chance. One day we had an annual meeting at Holiday Inn Lido Hotel in Beijing. While I was watching MTV and chatting with my man over the phone, a group of young ladies came on the screen. They were so fresh looking, and their voices were angelic! "Who are they?" I wondered. He asked me to describe them. "A short haired blonde, a red head, and one with curly long hair", then I started humming with the TV. He said " I bet you are watching Wilson Phillips, they are a rising new group, very popular right now!"

You see, the trio group of Wilson Phillips played an important role in my love story. With the first glimpse, they became my favorite singers! Guess what? He bought me all their cassettes, CDs and mailed to me the following week. On the days he wasn't around, the songs kept me company.

From wiki, "Wilson Phillips is an American vocal group consisting of Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson and Chynna Phillips. in 1990. Their debut single, "Hold On," hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, bumping Madonna's "Vogue" off the top spot!

You have probably heard of " the Beach Boys" and "the Mamas and the Papas" from the 1960s. That's when I say " like father like daughter", music talent runs in the family: Carnie and Wendy Wilson are daughters of Brian Wilson from the Beach boys; Chynna Phillips is a daughter of Michelle and John Phillips, from "the Mamas and the Papas"!

上麵的英文為梅雨時節潭(美語世界壇)父親節Party而作。歡迎大家有空來玩兒,灌水也好,喝茶也好!

韋爾森?飛利浦斯樂隊是我非常喜愛的,想當初第一次聽到她們是1992年在北京,那清新的形象,柔和的音色一下子就吸引了我。那一刻我正跟生命中的人電話聊天。後來他買了磁帶寄給我,他不在的日子裏,美妙的歌聲陪著我。

你看,二十年後我可以跟孩子們說,我是不是給你們選了好爸爸!跟先生說,父親節到了,禮物還沒有,我給你了一雙兒女,你可以每天自豪地說,“爸爸什麽都知道!”

Wilson Phillips三人組合在1990年就列告示牌第一名,一度超過麥當娜。她們的父親們也頗負盛名。卡妮和文笛的父親是Beach Boys主唱布萊恩, 柴娜的父母也是六十年代著名樂隊the Mamas and Papas 的歌手米雪兒和約翰Michelle & John. 所以我說音樂傳家,有其父必有其女!

~父親節快樂~

京燕花園 回複 悄悄話 回複 '閑閑客' 的評論 : 親愛的閑閑,遲複了抱歉剛看到。
而且敢於為了這份音樂和體育天賦而付出。音樂總是能更快地打動人心^_^
閑閑客 回複 悄悄話 是呀,音樂和體育天賦主要是父母給的。
京燕花園 回複 悄悄話 回複五弟五哥的評論:
多謝五哥,自己都不能相信已經過了那麽多年。以前以為一直會喜歡最流行的音樂,後來慢慢不習慣“新潮兒”,老歌兒裏藏著歲月的印記。

父親節快樂,五哥嗓音很棒!
五弟五哥 回複 悄悄話 很自豪的往事兒,還很甜蜜,嗬嗬。
京燕花園 回複 悄悄話 回複粉玫瑰的評論:
哈哈哈好像還是父親比自己知道的多的時候多,父親贏了!記得我姥爺老說,“不聽老人言,吃虧在眼前。”
粉玫瑰 回複 悄悄話 回複京燕花園的評論:

我和兒子講過笑話。10歲時,覺得爸爸什麽都知道。20歲時,覺得自己比爸爸知道的多。30歲時,覺得爸爸好象比自己知道的多。40歲時,覺得爸爸確實比自己知道的多。50歲時。。。

兒子回來住了一個月,現在舊金山。
京燕花園 回複 悄悄話 回複粉玫瑰的評論:
是呀粉玫瑰,父親是家裏脊梁,父愛如山。雪兒和爸爸一聊就好幾小時,大寶已經不信“爸爸什麽都知道”哈哈。也是自己成長放飛的階段。

這個日子也很思念我自己的父親,天上人間永相念。暑假愉快,想著你的兒子也回家度假了。
京燕花園 回複 悄悄話 回複bymyheart的評論:
親愛的心姐,看到您說要搬遷,想您會很留戀現在的田園生活,池塘,樹林,農場。也恭賀您早日安頓,喬遷之喜!

保重!我們會惦記著您,收拾物件悠著來,不要逞能累傷自己。心裏想您要搬到加州我們做鄰居!眼未見,心相連。願大河寶寶有愉快的暑假(^.^)
粉玫瑰 回複 悄悄話
頂一下,好爸爸比什麽都強!
bymyheart 回複 悄悄話 燕子是個有福的,福佑的女子,我再次祝福你和全家。你寫的這個英文小故事非常流暢而親切好文筆。
我要特別忙些日子,這個暑假恐怕沒有什麽時間泡網了。但心裏想著你們。
上來就來看燕子假期遇見的鹿一大家子,還有美麗的雪兒在跟鹿交流:))
京燕花園 回複 悄悄話 回複南山鬆的評論:
謝謝親愛的鬆鬆妹妹,今天給先生念我寫的,他哈哈大笑說這麽好啊,因為我常常抱怨他呀,我說父親節好好誇你幾句。前些天大寶畢業party我看著後院雜草收拾不過來,心裏那個著急,結果大家來了幾十人都挺高興,我說跟先生說雜草可以忽略不計了。

希望你們全家度過了愉快的周末,夫君有美好的父親節(^.^)
南山鬆 回複 悄悄話 好美的愛情故事。燕子姐很有眼光,選了這麽好的人做孩子的爸爸~~~
祝福你們一家!
