“精神病有家族遗传。你可以从孩子那里遗传过来。” "Insanity is hereditary. You can catch it from your kids."(其实是在说,你会被孩子气疯的。) “孩子越是在最不值得爱的时候最需要你的爱。”"A child needs your love more when he deserves it least." (叛逆到了吃尽苦头,可恨之人必有可怜之处。) “我的孩子们通常是拒绝吃没有在电视上跳过舞的任何东西。”"In general, my children refused to eat anything that hadn't danced on TV." (可见广告对下一代的控制多么可怕!) “我最喜欢的第二件家务事就是熨衣服。第一件是对着架床撞脑袋,直至昏厥过去。”"My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first one being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint." (烫不尽的衣服,会让人痛不欲生的。) “男人如果连续看上三场足球赛,就应该宣告他法定死亡。”"If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead." (这些沙发土豆和行尸走肉有什么两样?) “我跑步的唯一理由是可以再听到气喘呼呼的声音。”"The only reason I would take up jogging is so I could hear heavy breathing again." (床上早已波澜不惊,只好聊以自慰。) 娥玛大妈的懿范人生,该是衣食无忧的师奶们好好效法的楷模。
