為什麼我是這樣一個癡迷的媽媽
生活很容易有讓人產生倦意的時候。但是,如果妳身旁有小孩,看著他做那些被你長久以來視為理所當然的事—飛奔在草地上,拾起一朵花,追趕一群飛鳥,挖掘一座沙堡,自編一個小笑話,笑開懷…..;你會發現,透過孩子的眼睛看世界,所有的憤世嫉俗全不見了,你再度變得很輕,很單純。
It is easy to feel tired in life. But when you have kids, you watch them do things that you’ve taken for granted for a long time, such as running on the grass, picking up a flower, chasing a flock of birds, building a sand castle, laughing out loud for his own little jokes….。You see life through a kid’s eyes, and all of your cynicism is gone. You feel light.
Happy 2nd Grade!
小孩就學後,日子某種程度上是照著學校的日曆走。暑假的最後一天,我們一貫閒晃玩耍。公園裡,蔚藍的天空,白雲悠閒極慢地走。超商購物後,我讓在一旁彩劵機前好奇駐足的你,買了第一張括括樂。摃龜的你回到家,圖圖畫畫,在那張彩劵背後,寫上代表數字1後面跟著3003個〇的數學記號,One millinillion! 你說那是自己的專用信用卡,價值非凡(多麼你的風格啊,永遠有辦法讓自己充滿希望。)
「I could not believe that summer vacation was over. I went to many places. I read a lot. I finished “Diary of a wimpy kid.” It has 217 pages. I had a good summer. 」我要求的暑假日誌上,你寫下最後一篇。
晚餐後,我們如常出門騎車散步。安靜無人的社區裡,歸鳥忙碌。你繞圈而行,熟練自在。“In less than 12 hours, I will be a second grader. Can you believe it?!”(再不到十二小時,我就二年級了,你能相信嗎?!) 經過我身旁時,你對我喊說。
是啊,「認真去學,好好去玩。」望著你飛速的身影,我輕喊:「Happy 2nd grade!」
