说中文的小棉袄 之 梦想成真

话说我几几乎就要放弃我家小棉袄的中文教育, 在心里斗争的激烈呢, 面上却没露出被我家小棉袄已经打败的珠丝马迹, 这当妈的也得找个台阶下不是, 不然以后只有被小人教育的份了…

一天下班到AFTER SCHOOL CENTER 接她, 女儿一见我就跑过来, 举着一张田字格纸对我大声说: 妈妈! 看我写的中文!

我这一吓不轻, 以为自己想这事想得梦症了, 大白天梦游了, 偷偷掐了下腿: 哎呀, 痛死我也! 嗯, 还好, 不是大白天做梦. 我接过女儿的田字格纸, 果然, 女儿整整齐齐写了10行生字!!! 看着这张纸, 我的泪都快下来了, 女儿还一个劲地问: 妈妈, 我写得好不好? 给我什么奖励啊? 我连忙说: 写得好, 写得特别好, 妈妈一定给你奖励!

开车回家, 我真是百感交际, 对女儿的突然转变还有点不适应. 车上女儿一如既往地说个不停, 我心不在焉地哼哼着应着..突然, 女儿问: 妈妈, MR. Smith ask me to think a Chinese name for him, he likes flowers, I think 小花　is a good name for him..

什么？那个大块头的笑眯眯的MR. Smith？他是女儿AFTER SCHOOL CENTER的体育老师，留着花白的山羊胡子，我接女儿晚了好几次，他从没生气，总安慰我：ＴＡＫＥ IT EASY.

我问女儿: MR. Smith为啥让你给取中文名字啊?

女儿说: oh, we are having a culture thing at after school, everybody say something about their own culture. I came from China, so I wrote a Chinese word for them.

我问: 宝贝, 你写得啥字啊?

女儿很得意: 你教我写家, 我记得了! So when it is my turn to show something about Chinese, I wrote 家 on the board, and some kids asked me how to remember so many strokes, I told them as you told me: Under the roof –(宝盖头),there are piglets, each of the family member has one piglet, so 2 grandma, 2 grandpa, daddy, mommy, me, seven piglets!. And MR. Smith saw what I wrote, he want me to write him more Chinese words, and guess what? he wants a Chinese name!

原来如此! 我灵机一动, 说: 看, 连老师都要向你学中文呢, 你可要好好学啊, 别教错了哦!

女儿得意洋洋地说: 错了is fine, he wouldn’t know!

我刚想教育她几句, 女儿打断我: 妈妈, Do you think小花 is a good name for MR. Smith? 我忍住笑说: 小花好象应该给女孩子吧?

女儿失望地说: I have been thinking for a long long long time, and finally got this one, besides, he told me he likes flowers!

我一听连忙说：对，　对，　对，　小花多美啊！很好，　很好！

我私下里咬下舌头，骂自己：真笨啊！差一点把女儿要学中文的小芽芽掐掉了！

女儿一听开心了：妈妈，小云 is a good choice too, but since he likes flowers, so 小花　is better!

回到家，女儿说：　妈妈你cooking, I am reading Chinese 课文, If I were wrong, tell me!

知道什么叫梦想成真吗?

这就叫梦想成真!!!!
