Rhythm Time

今天的早餐，每人半个香蕉，一个玉米糕，一杯牛奶，和几小块苹果，弟弟别的都吃，只有苹果不肯吃。
姐姐在一边劝说，do you want to be batman?
弟弟眼睛一亮  YES!
姐姐:   Than eat your apple！
弟弟:  No, I do not want to eat my apple.
Mommy:  Than you may become a fat man
哄堂大笑，这一回到是乖乖地把苹果给吃了

Santa Goes to store

我从来不买圣诞老人的帐，小人们小的时候总是无情的告诫，圣诞老人只是故事里的人物。毕竟我是在门神，灶王爷，玉皇大帝，观音菩萨等等老佛爷的熏陶下长大地，何况小时候过年，我除了能有一套新衣服穿，那有玩具可玩。所以很不喜欢小人们物质熏心地认为圣诞老人能给他们带来他们想要的玩具。可是老公和家人并不买我的帐，近两年的圣诞礼物，还堂而晃之的写上了"from Santa Clause".  以至小人们认为礼物还真的是圣诞老人给的，经常上街时看着货架子上这样那样的东西根我们要未果，嘴里就说，It's ok I don't get it now, I will get it from Santa.

今年去爷爷奶奶家过圣诞，拆礼物时，妹妹率先拆开了奶奶给买的一件上衣，标签和尺码还在，妹妹没有急着再去拆别的礼物，而是若有所思地看了半天，"I think he got it from store"妹妹对握我说，"What?" 我不解的问，" I think Santa Got this shirt from the store"妹妹答

儿子

这几天儿子学会了掀起上衣让姐姐们看他的肚脐，有时走在路上也会突然把衣服一撩，"see！ my bellybutton。"
这天晚上简短地给儿子讲了肚脐的来历，when you were a tiny baby, still in mommy's belly, there used to have a cord, like a long long straw, connected to bellybutton, you would use the cord to get food from mommy。 结果儿子瞪大眼睛叫到，"I was in your belly?   Did you eat me?"
