我這樣教導那個揪兒子耳朵的孩子

我這樣教導那個揪兒子耳朵的孩子

今天，我提早去接三女兒和兒子。當我進到Cafeteria時，見裏麵空無一人。管放人的老師對我說：“Samuel is playing outside.”我便前往Art Room 先接女兒。我和女兒正要出門，就見兒子滿頭大汗地跑了進來，我給了他一個擁抱，問：“Did they pull you ears today?” 兒子搖頭。邊說，我們三人邊出了Art Room。我讓女兒先在Cafeteria 等，複對兒子說：“Are they in after school care?”兒子說，有一個在。我讓兒子帶我去見見他，兒子先是不同意，我保證道：“Mommy is going to be super nice. After today, you and him can become best friend. Trust me.” 兒子似信非信地同意了。

我倆來到Playground，哇，好熱鬧！我問：“What's his name?”兒子說：“Clifford.” 說完，朝Playground的盡頭跑去，邊跑邊叫：“Clifford, Clifford, my mom wants to talk to you.” 我覺得兒子有點像給Clifford通風報信的感覺。哎，這孩子就是心善，不忍心給對方來個下馬威。這要是放在有的小孩，看見有自己的父母給撐腰，馬上就凶起來啦。可兒子非常友好地找到Clifford，把他帶到我的身邊。

我看見一個比兒子稍高稍胖的小黑孩，厚厚的嘴唇，迷茫的雙眼，好像沒有睡醒的樣子。這孩子的麵相，可不像欺負人的那種：憨厚敦實，不招人反感。他見了我，有些意外，問：“What?”兒子馬上解釋：“My mom wants to talk to you about......you know......the pulling ear thing.” Clifford馬上緊張起來，道：“I was just playing with him.”這時，有一群小朋友都圍了過來，大呼小叫著：“你好！Samuel's mom! 你好！” 嘿，中文說得不錯嘛！我一邊跟這些小朋友打招呼，一邊把注意力轉回Clifford，道：“so you were just playing with Samuel?” 他點頭。我問兒子：“Samuel, he was playing with you. Did you like it?” 兒子說：“No.” 我又看著Clifford說：“Did you hear it? He did not like it. So, please don't do it anymore even if you think you are playing. OK?” Clifford懵懂著，但也點了頭。我伸出手，道：“Come on, give me a five.” 他伸手跟我擊了掌，我又讓他和兒子擊了掌。然後，我大聲對圍觀的孩子們說：“We all need to learn to respect each other, right?” 大家都說：“Right.”

這時，看管的老師來了，問：“What happened?” 我說：“I was talking to Clifford something. ” 老師有些不放心，我解釋說：“Clifford pulled Samuel's ear. But he said he was just playing with him。” 老師馬上嚴肅起來，衝著Clifford問：“Why do you pull his ear?” 我馬上說：“He said he was not going to do it anymore.” 老師滿意地點點頭。我拉著兒子離開了playground。

在走出學校的路上，兒子緊緊地抱著我的腰，一刻都沒有鬆離。我可以感覺出來，他在為我剛才的表現而自豪。怎麽樣，兒子？你娘表現的Super Nice 吧？你可知道，這得感謝網友的規勸啊。再次謝謝你們---我沒有絲毫衝動，卻友好地擺平了此事！
