隔两个block的邻居家有个女儿,叫Melody,和儿子就差两个月,经常一起玩。以前开他们的玩笑,是男/女朋友。现在知道男/女朋友有特别的意思,早就不承认了。按姐姐的说法,“It is broken”。
最近Melody常来找儿子玩。一个人,要么rollskate来,要么骑自行车过来。一玩就是半小时一小时。我们家的晚饭开得早,所以这几天就经常和我们一起吃晚饭。Melody的爸爸妈妈是我们的老朋友,我们也就不用打电话去征求同意不同意了。反正是孩子要什么,我们有什么,就让她吃什么。
昨天老妈下班晚了点,就不想烧饭了,顺道买了个pizza回来,一到家就开晚饭。四个人往桌子上一坐,老爸觉得少了个人,就说:“Hi, we should keep a share for Melody.”
儿子问:“Why?”
“She may come later today. She always comes to play with you. So weshould save a share for her. She is your girl----friend, isn't she?”老爸故意把girlfriend拉长点说。
“Yeah, right!” 姐姐马上起哄。
“No, she is not. Girlfriend is special, and have to be in love with.” 儿子马上澄清。
老爸一见有机可乘,就逗儿子:“So you meant your mom is your girlfriend, right? She is a girl, she is your friend, and she loves you.”
“哈哈哈。。。。”, “哈哈哈。。。。”老妈和姐姐同声大笑。
大概记住了老妈比老爸年记小,儿子马上回答:“No, your girlfriend should be younger (than you)。”
。。。。。。
嗯,不错,看样子老爸不用担心儿子今后有“姐弟恋”了。
(Melody很晚才来,玩了半个小时才回去。就没有赶上我们家的晚饭。)
