老妈去接武术班上课的儿子，被老师叫住。老师一个劲地解释明天时间有限，只能呆很短的时间等等，把英文本来就不流利的老妈搞糊涂了。等儿子上车，两人上了路，儿子才说起他要请老师第二天来家里烧烤，老妈才恍然大悟，都是儿子的若的“祸”呢。家里第二天要开party，请了几位朋友劳动节聚一聚。儿子也就自作主张地请起自己的朋友了。
到家了，老妈告诉了老爸。老爸一面吩咐老妈赶快给老师打电话，正式邀请老师，一面和儿子坐下来，问儿子详情。
“We are going to have a BBQ party tomorrow, right? I just invited my teacher to taste moon-cake!”儿子给老爸汇报。
“Where is the moon-cake?”老爸糊涂了。
儿子伸手就从厨房的书桌下拎出来：“Mommy bought yesyerday it when you went fishing.”
呵呵，儿子开始管事了呢。老爸教育儿子：“It is ok to invite your friends. However, you need to let daddy and mommy know first. If daddy and mommy don't know, then we may not have enough food for your friends. You want daddy and mommy treat your friends nicely, right?”
“Ok. I will let you know in the future. My teacher said that he only wanted to taste moon-cake.”儿子还有点担心呢
“Don't worry, we have enough food for your teacher. ”老爸让儿子宽心。
老妈打完了电话，走过来：“师傅明天要带一个小朋友来。他明天很忙，还要去别的地方上课。所以，只能停两个小时。”
“I invited the little boy, too. Great that he will come to taste moon-cake.”儿子一脸的兴奋。
老爸老妈只能相对苦笑了：儿子长大了，开始有自己的主意， 要当家作主人了。
