今天傍晚,我接了兄妹俩,刚要开车回家,Anna 发话了:
"Mommy, I did something wrong today." Anna confessed.
"What did you do, baby?"
"I told Adytia what his birthday gift is. It is not going to be a surprise for him :(" Anna sighed.
"Whatwas the gift that you told him?" ------ I was hoping that sheremembered it incorrectly, since I didn't bring her when I bought thegift.
"I told him they are one basketball and one football." Anna said proudly. She must have seen them in the trunk of the car.
"Uh oh, you really knew what they are. I guess he won't be surprised then……" I pretended that it did matter.
…………
"Good thing he is a good forgetter!" Anna said with gleaming eyes.
"Maybe he will forget what I said when it's his birthday!" She said hopefully.
"Hahahahaha, that's a good one!" I couldn't help laughing at this point.
"A good what?" Anna asked.
"A good ------- joke." I was starting to feel guilty laughing out loud.
"Mommy, seriously, it is not a joke. He even forgot the important things that his mommy told him." Anna insisted.
"Oh, I see. Maybe you are right. He might still get surprised." I had to agree with her now.
