父亲节就要来了，一起看看逗比girl的逗比老爹吧，文末有翻译。

This Sunday is Father’s Day, so I would like to share some anecdotes of my father, a tough, capable, humorous and life-loving person. Loving my mother, me, my younger sister and his work, my father also loves fishing, children and smoking.

Fishing is my father’s favorite hobby. Taking fishing tools and/or rain gears, he always likes to go to pond, river or reservoir alone or with friends for fishing, in his spare time, especially on rainy days. Before I went to college, he often took me to go fishing. When I was ten, it was a rainy day and he felt bored. Then he suggested fishing. “Wonderful!” I yelled happily. “It was raining!!!” my mother disagreed. “It dose not matter, and we will put on raincoats. Do not worry, okay?” he explained to her and comforted her. Half an hour later, my father and I turned on the side of a local reservoir, with plastic raincoat and bamboo hat. The bamboo hat was a little heavy for me then. I do not remember how much fish we had angled in the end, but it was the first time that I angled sooner than my father. So that many years later, the scene, a rainy and dim day, a large and a small figures with strange outfit, the reservoir, fishing rods, no passerby, flying birds sometimes, often emerges on my mind. What an unforgettable and interesting memory.

My father loves child very much. And himself is an old urchin too. He often amuses my nieces and nephews by imitating their speaking method and action. And when they were 1 years old, he often kept them standing in his palm and then lifted them up in mid air. Both the children and my father laughed out in the moment. I loved the smile on their face, which touched me deeply. Staying with the children, he seems to become younger a lot.

My father loves cigarette as much as his life. However, several days ago, he suddenly called me and asked me to buy him an Electronic Cigarette (E- Cigarette) online. And he said that he has decided to quit smoking! “What? !! QUIT SMOKING?!! ” I kept silent for 10 seconds and answered in a higher voice. What he said was just beyond my imagination! Because all of us have been trying to persuade him not to smoke or smoke less,but in vain.I still remember a conversation about smoking we had on the phone several years ago.
……
“Why do you cough again? You should smoke less.” I reminded him.
“Yeah, I do not have too much.” he answered with guile.
“Well, how many cigarettes do you have every day. “
“Hum…….. I just have three packets a day.“
“Only three packets?! A day?!” I could not help yelling in the phone and I was speechless suddenly.
……
Cigarette has been damaging my father’s health and he went downhill. So I am really glad that he decided to quit smoking, even though it must be suffering. After all, I do not have a second father and I hope he can live longer. However, once quit smoking, he would have only two hobbies left, and I fear that he might become too corpulent. Then he would be walking likes crabs, with a round beer belly of a lot fat…….
Gosh, this is unacceptable and unbelievable! What I love is the tough and vigorous old man, not a both fat and clumsy guy! What I should do?
Well…….calm down, take a deep breath and think about it for a while: The fact is, is that I have only one father, thus I would have no choice but to love him---even though he would become both ugly and too fat to move, there is no other father for me to love. What a pity! Okay, that is a deal. Love him, no matter how ugly and fat he would be.

Well, how about your father? Do not you have something to talk about him?

中文版：(写给老男人看的，肯定得有中文版的才行(^__) )
在女儿眼中，他一米六几个头的父亲永远是伟岸高大的，即使她长大后认识不少超过过一米八几的威武汉子。这个老男人健壮，能干，幽默，聪明，爱生活，爱家庭，爱工作；还爱钓鱼、爱吸烟，爱逗小孩玩。

钓鱼是老男人的最大爱好。每逢闲暇或下雨天，他总会去河边、池边、水库等有鱼的地方钓鱼，或一个人，或和他的渔友。上大学前我也是他的渔友之一，他会不时带我去钓鱼。印象最深的一次是十来岁那一年，有天下雨他在家待不住了，提议去钓鱼。我当然是欣然同意。但资深美女说下这么大的雨，钓啥鱼，别淋感冒了！老男人当然不干啦，穿上雨衣斗笠我们就出发了——有种孤舟蓑笠翁的感觉。那天钓了多少鱼我不记得了，但那次我比老男人先钓到鱼——一条3斤多的“泥管”雨天，雨燕，斗笠，长幼钓鱼者，四周静寂无路人，这样的画面让自己久久难忘。
（原谅我不会用普通话说这种鱼，那条鱼也是我钓到的最大的鱼，谁让我初中以后就再也没去钓过鱼了呢？高考完，和他去钓鱼，好不容易鱼漂沉下水去激动地拉扯了半天以为是条大鱼，结果是个巨大号黑色垃圾袋，鱼竿都被我扯断了，当时旁边很多人，好丢脸）。

老男人喜欢逗小孩玩，他自己其实也是一个小孩。和孩子在一起的时候，他往往笑得开心自在，心态年轻不少。

老男人嗜烟如命，老妹的话来硕就是烟筒眼。吸烟老咳嗽，尽管家里老少美女都去劝他戒烟，但他依旧如故。记得老男人曾经觉得自己一天抽3包烟都不多。当然，现在一天抽4包，一天24小时，刨去吃喝拉撒睡及开车的时间约12小时，剩下的12小时抽80根烟，1小时吸6根，每10分钟就要吸1根烟！前几天老男人打电话来，让买电子烟——终于要戒烟了！吸烟让他的健康每况日下，电话里说一句话咳半天，大夏天的，居然还感冒了；所以他要戒烟肯定是举双手赞成——毕竟老爹只有一个。

但是戒烟后，人一般都会长胖，到时候他应该会变成一个又笨拙又丑的老男人——挺个啤酒肚，走路像螃蟹——想想就觉得有点恐怖，我喜欢的可是壮硕敏捷的老男人！但要真有那么一天，我也认了，谁让基因遗传决定了我只能有一个爹呢。
