| 94、Shoulder
Ride
My husband and I took our two-year-old daughter, Mary, to a
store.
Mary got tired of79 walking, so my husband let her ride on80
his shoulders.
As he walked, Mary began pulling his hair.
Although he asked her to stop several times, she kept on yanking81
away at
his mane.
Getting annoyed, he scolded, “Mary! Stop that!”
“But, Daddy,” she replied, “I'm just trying to get my gum82
back.”
骑肩
我丈夫和我带着我们三岁的女儿玛丽去逛一家商店。
玛丽走累了,丈夫让她骑在他肩上。
他刚迈开步走,玛丽就开始扯他的头发。
尽管他阻止了她几次,她还是一直在猛拉他的鬓毛。
最后丈夫生气了,他对女儿喝道:“玛丽,不准再扯了。”
“可是,爸爸,”女儿回答说,“我一直想拿出我的泡泡糖。”

marking period, her mother was astonished to see that her daughter
got an A+ in math. She asked her daughter, “Why the sudden change

replied, “No, but when I saw the little man on the wall nailed
to the plus sign, I knew that this school is very serious about
math!”
