老师分配给我的孩子，有阿小 N 阿小 T ，还有他们哥儿俩请求分配来“my mommy's group ”的小姑娘——阿小 N 选的是跟他一样瘦小的 Leanna ，阿小 T 选的是跟他一样肥硕的 Katie 。另外因为一位志愿家长临时有事不能来，我们每个小组又添多一人。我这个组分来一个叫 Mariah 的女孩子。
分好组，大家忙着写名牌、包午餐。老师 Mrs. Farrell 最忙，除了要做组织工作，还要不断照看正在写作业的孩子们——有人不知道 VAN 怎么拼写跑来拍她的肩膀，有人被邻座抢走了帽子跑来拍她的肩膀，有人急着上厕所解不开裤扣跑来拍她的肩膀，有人找不到自己的铅笔跑来拍她的肩膀。。。
看着一屋子上窜下跳的孩子，围着一位处变不惊的老师，我虽然没被拍肩膀，也都已经晕乎了。
老师真伟大，实在太伟大了！就说 Mrs. Farrell 吧，她家祖辈居住于此，她的妈妈在这所学校教了一辈子书，她本人出了校门，也立刻继承妈妈的事业，一直到现在，已经将近五十的年纪。几十年的时间，全部都在教 Kindergarten ，每天唯一的工作，就是对付这些半大孩子，不但要让他们听话，还要教他们知识。想想我平日面对三个孩子，就已经叫苦不迭，简直难以想象她几十年如一日地对着他们保持耐心与微笑。更难以想象的，是她年迈的母亲，退休之后竟然一直义务在她的班上担任助教工作。正是她们母女二人，三年前把阿小 J 迎进校门，现在又在教着阿小 N 和阿小 T 。
Mariah 是个娇滴滴的女孩，一路都要我拉牢她的小手，一路都在唉声叹气。吃饭之前说肚子饿，吃饭之后说眼睛困。我一路拍着她肉乎乎的手背说：“Baby, you get to sleep everyday, but you don't get to walk in the nature everyday. ”她根本听不进去，脸贴在我的胳膊上，用我的胳膊肘揉她的眼睛。
老花已经回国，大概看不到这篇文章了。不过还是很想告诉他，不用为我担心。 No worries, I've got my sunshine 。
You Are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear, As I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms. When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.
You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.
老花，“Wind Beneath My Wings”是很好听，收音机里老放。不过今天才知道有这么一部电影，好像很感人的样子，回头找来看看。不过你能否不要老用youtube呢，音响效果实在太差了！
还有，你说“像你这样阳光洋溢的孩子，命运不对你好，那才是极其操蛋的事情”——我可不同意了。要是命运不好就抱怨个没完，那还有什么阳光可言是吧？再说了，什么算是“命运不对你好”呢？不信你试试看，我要是以后一见你就抱着你哭，哭你一身鼻涕，你肯定不会骂事情操蛋，你肯定会觉得是我lost my sunshine.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
