留住孩子们成长的快乐时光。

哇,感觉真好!女儿这个周末两天都加班,下玉米地干活。老爸起床,送女儿下地后,自己没事就到办公室上网,一杯咖啡,边喝边聊,感觉真好--女儿能挣钱了!可惜老爸还是享不了女儿的福--她挣的钱,老爸连一个dime也要不到。

昨天回家的路上,女儿说:“I hate the work in the corn field now. I have to work during the week end. Dad, can we go to somewhere tomorrow?”

“Why? You have to work tomorrow.”

“I want to have a good excuse not to go to work tomorrow. A family issue is a good excuse.” 女儿装出可怜样。

“呵呵,not this weekend. Next Saturday I will take you and your brother to a state park for hiking and picnic.”

“呜呜。。。。No fun now to work in the field. Hot and the pay is just above the minimal wage.”女儿抱怨。

“嘿嘿,you are learning a good lesson now. That's good for you. You will study hard after this summer, right? No easy way for life. ”老爸又老生常谈了。

“That's right. I will study hard so I don;t have to be a farmer in the future, how about this?”

没错,老爸当年的梦想呢。
