“我是妈妈啊,我不是其他的女孩子。”
“ you are still a girl. “
“但你也是女孩子。”

“可是妈妈送你上学,说再见的时候希望亲你一下啊。”
“You are so sooky, mummy. How about I fly you a kiss then? “
“妈咪,你真是粘人。算了,以后我给你个飞吻吧?”
“I fly you a kiss, blow it to you , and you just catch it with your hands…"
“我给你个飞吻,吹到你那里,你用手接住,接好了……”
Wedding photo结婚照
“Mummy, where were I when you and daddy got married? How come I am not in the photo ? “
“妈咪,你和爹地结婚时我在哪里?为什么结婚照里没有我?”
“Where do you think you were?”
“你认为你在哪里呢?”
“I don’t know, I must be in your belly, I guess….”
“我不知道啊,我恐怕在你肚子里面藏着吧………”(这不是污蔑我未婚先孕??)
“No ,you are not, you are in my plan …..” I laughed.
我笑了:“哪有啊,你在我的计划中……”
Fur Elise钢琴曲《致爱丽斯》
“Mummy, I decided I am not going to play Alla Turca for the Music Matinee”

“为什么?你弹的不是很好吗?“
“ I love Fur Elise better now, it is so,so emotional and romantic …….“
“我更喜欢《致爱丽斯》,它太,太感人了,太浪漫了“
“Emotional ? Romantic? Do you understand Beethoven’s emotions and feelings behind this piece?
“感人?浪漫?你确定你明白贝多芬这个曲目后面的情感吗?“(我心想:六岁小屁孩懂什么,还要演绎爱情曲目??还懂浪漫??)
“Oh, I love it, Elise must be a girl, so Beethoven must be in love! “
“噢,我爱这首曲子,爱丽斯是女孩,贝多芬肯定爱上了她!“
I will play it emotionally. So emotional, I love it, it touches my heart!
“我会充满感情的弹,太感人了,我太喜欢了,这首曲目触动心弦!“
(我晕,六岁小孩是不是太成熟了??)

“妈咪,艾略特有女朋友了,我在停车场看到他们牵手了!“
“Oh really? Elliot is a big boy now. “
“噢,真的?艾略特是大男孩了。“
“Mummy, I have many girlfriends……”
“妈咪,我有很多女朋友……”
“Seriously? Do you know what girlfriend mean? “
“不会吧?你知道什么是女朋友吗?”
“She is a girl and she is my friend, that is a girlfriend, easy! “
“那就是:她必须是一个女孩,她还是我的朋友,这就是女朋友,很简单啊!”

“小辰,你的生日会准备邀请谁呢?”
“ Only boys, I want a boys party.”
“只邀请男孩,我要一个男孩的派对。”
“Why?”
“为什么?”
“ Girls are sooky and weak, boys don’t really like playing with girls, they just like dolls“
女孩子好难缠,爱委屈。女孩子只喜欢玩洋娃娃,男孩子们不喜欢和她们玩。“
“Mummy, have you heard this:”
“妈咪,你听过这个顺口溜吗?
“Boys are strong, like King Kong; girls areweak, chunk them in the creek!”
“男孩强壮像金刚,女孩柔弱,丢小溪里去。”
“That’s mean! “
“你们太坏了!“
“Anyway, girls are too much trouble. “
“算了,反正女孩就是麻烦。“

“Mummy, can I save up?”
“妈咪,我可以自己存些钱吗?“
“Sure you can, I have a list of jobs for you to do and a price list. You could clean the toilets, polish the shoes, wash the cars …..”
“当然可以啦,我给你开个家务活清单和对应劳务费。你可以去刷马桶,擦鞋,洗车……“
“Do I only get 50 cents to polish shoes ? Can I please have 1 dollar?
“擦一双鞋只给五毛钱吗?可以给一元钱吗?“
“ No, daddy will do it for free if you don’t want to do it.”
“不给,爸爸擦鞋是免费的,你爱擦不擦。“
“Mummy, you are a slave driver, daddy said it ….”
“妈咪,你真是个奴隶主……爸爸说的……”
Show and Tell演讲展示课
“ Mummy, Could you please help me with a PPT about Egypt for my show and tell tomorrow?”
“妈咪,我需要你帮助我做个PPT,关于埃及的,明天我要演讲。”(我心想,搞得跟职场精英似的,每周都做PPT。)
“ Come on, you are only 6 , you don’t always need a PPT for show and tell. “
“行了,你才六岁,不是每次演讲都需要PPT的。“
“ But this is a presentation, do you understand what presentation means?”
“但这是演示,妈咪,你明白做一个演示意味着什么吗?”
“ Just bring a book to show the class, Okay?“
“难道你不可以带一本关于埃及的书去班上讲吗?”
“ No mummy, I need a PPT so I can use Miss Naomi ‘s multimedia board, otherwise why would we have this technology? Don’t forget to find some pictures of Cleopatra, mummy!”
“不可以,妈咪。我需要一个PPT,我要用老师的多媒体演示屏幕。不然,我们教室的演示屏幕是不是浪费了?妈,不要忘了我需要一些埃及女王的图片!”
It is hard to be a mummy in 21st century, I am a wife, a mummy, a cook, a gardener and secretary, driver,amazingly good at multitask!
当代妈妈不容当啊,我是一个妻子,母亲,厨师,园丁,秘书,司机,关键是还要擅长于一专多能,痛并快乐着。
