晚饭前后

     晚飯前女兒已經病了。

    坐在桌子前趕她因為田徑賽欠了一周的作業,然而她好像螞蚱一樣,一會兒蹦到廁所,一會兒跳到廚房;一會兒找鼻涕紙,一會兒盛水找藥吃。看著她鼻涕噴嚏呼啦啦地,我極力地把滿桌滿地鼻涕紙當成遍地春花爛漫。扯她到燈下,讓她“啊“她的嘴巴,扁桃腺如紅櫻桃等待收成。”明天妳大概會發燒哦。”我的經驗之談,擔心地看她一眼,熟練地將淡鹽水和幾顆Oil of Oregano 遞到她手上;一邊看著即將煮沸的面。

    我儘管不是“虎媽”類的母親,然而眼前揮之不去的她那三門課紅紅的“C"依然使我心裡彆彆扭扭的。

    丫頭愛動,也愛扎堆。每逢運動會必有她的身影,100米,200米,400 米 每次必能進入13名以內。儘管身材瘦小,比不上個大腿長的白人女孩們,她的熱情一點不比別人低,每天回來都很激動地給我匯報她的佳績。因為近來積極參加體育運動,回到家已經晚了,作業一帶而過,連騙帶懵,直到我上網查成績已經不堪回首。幾次爸媽輪流審訊、談話、反思,她終於同意在一周內將缺的作業補回來。

    剛剛採購來的肉食蔬果鋪滿一地,喊著家裡兩個一大一小搬運工接力。

    車庫外傳來韓國鄰居的聲音,急忙將火撥小,打開鍋蓋,奔出去。詢問最近失竊的信箱的事,搭訕了幾句他們搬家賣房的事,心裡惦著爐子的火,抱歉將這可有可無搭訕的活撂下給站著不知所措的老公。

    半個鐘頭奮鬥之後,終於將一飯一肉倆菜端上飯桌,我家天塌下來,巋然不動的是吃飯。

   “你知道嗎?我們學校有人在賣避孕套,$0.5/個。”丫頭扒了幾口飯后,有一搭無一搭似乎滿不在乎地說道。我和她爹都瞪大了眼,放下筷子。“哦......有人買嗎?”我問到。“有啊,她沒過一會兒已經賣了$3.5了!”“妳的朋友們有買嗎?”不想直截了當教訓,我拐個彎,想探聽她和她的朋友們都有什麼樣的反應。“蘇的妹妹買了。我覺得她們好怪哦。我以前和蘇挺好的,想在我覺得她怪怪的,儘管她很和善。”她道出心裡的感受。

    我鬆了一口氣,“是啊,有些人做事沒原則,儘管他們可能很和善。妳知道以後如何分辨了吧?上帝教導我們婚前的性關係是不討神喜悅的,妳大概都知道了吧。”她點點頭。

    在那一刻,我心裡彆彆扭扭的那三個紅紅的“C"、丫頭櫻桃般的扁桃腺、排行13名、以及失竊的信箱消失了。

   “謝謝媽媽,今晚的烤雞真香!”丫頭說道。
