自己剪头发的小女孩

3月24日。
妈妈上教会去了，刚出差回来的爸爸因为时差还在睡觉，安安决定替自己剪头发。很毅然地剪掉左右耳际旁两撮头发。

妈妈回来后一进门妹妹立刻向妈妈打小报告。结果两姐妹从此失去自由用剪刀的权利。其实妈妈觉得自己剪头发不是大件事，头发还会再长，而且也看不出她剪了哪里。妈妈也记得自己小时候很好奇，自己用剪刀剪头发会怎样。大件事是，她答应了妈妈只用剪刀剪纸张，却违背了承诺，破坏了妈妈对她的信任。希望她会学会一诺千金这件事。

3岁半小女孩的画

悦悦最近开始会画侧面的画。以前看书看到有侧面图她都很奇怪还有一颗眼睛跑哪里去了，现在她会说，我只画了一只眼睛因为还有一只在另外一边，你看不到。

这是一只啄木鸟的侧面。看得见那长长尖尖的嘴巴吗？

她说这是一个天使。天使的两个翅膀在身后。

We Remember Them

"At the rising of the sun and at its going down
We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter
We remember them.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring
We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer
We remember them.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn
We remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us
as we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength
We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart
We remember them.

When we have joy we crave to share
We remember them.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make
We remember them.

When we have achievements that are based on theirs
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us
as we remember them."
From Jewish Book of Prayer.

Latter Days

聽一首非常動聽，寫得非常美麗的歌。
有時候悲傷可以美麗得那麼動人，卻又割得人遍體鱗傷。
如果你不相信，你可以去讀 The Tiger Rising 這一本書。
Kate DiCamillo 是一位非常非常棒的作家。我總是一邊看，一邊想，她到底看過怎樣的悲傷？ 她寫的悲傷總是非常幽靜，卻又無處不在。
Is there a such thing as screaming silence?
I believe so.

 Over the Rhine: Latter Days

What a beautiful piece of heartache
This has all turned out to be
Lord knows we've learned the hard way
All about healthy apathy

I use these words pretty loosely
There's so much more to life than words

There is a me you would not recognize, dear
Call it the shadow of myself
And if the music starts before I get there
Dance without me, you dance so gracefully
I really think I'll be okay
They've taken a toll, these latter days

Nothing like sleeping on a bed of nails
Nothing much here but our broken dream
Oh, but baby, if all else fails
Nothing is ever quite what it seems

And I'm dying inside to leave you
With more than just cliches

There is a me you would not recognize, dear
Call it the shadow of myself
And if the music starts before I get there
Dance without me, you dance so gracefully
I really think I'll be okay
They've taken their toll, these latter days
They've taken their toll, these latter days

Tell them it's real
Tell them it's really real
I just don't have much left to say
They've taken their toll, these latter days
They've taken their toll, these latter days

可以跳舞時我們永遠選擇跳舞

時の影

看著陽光的影子在牆上地上舞動着，我仿佛看見時光邁步跨過我們的身軀。

你們長高了，嬰兒肥完全沒有了，更懂事了。

我們長了白髮，長了皺紋，看透世事。

我仿佛看見生命隨著光影移動而流逝。

那就這樣吧。聽見快樂的音樂時我停下來跟你們跳一段舞。我們快樂地笑着喊著嚷著。

雖然是晚餐時間了。晚餐涼了就涼了吧。

我知道你們會記得，我們一起跳舞的時光。

涼了的晚餐，誰會記得呢。

As for now, we dance. 

神速的进步

妈妈在吃饭，悦悦在旁边流连跟妈妈说话。

忽然间，那小妮子静静地打量我一番，然后若有所思，恍然大悟地问：

“妈妈，你不是猴子？？？”

妈妈 ：“。。。 。。。” （泪流满面）

亲爱的，我很开心你在花了三年时间后终于看清这事实了。

也许，你还有希望，会进步，会发现其实你自己也是人类一个，而开始有人类的行动与开始合理一点？

这不是我的妈妈

妈妈在用电脑时，忽然听见悦悦用很甜很甜的声音说：“嗨！妈妈！”

妈妈很开心地回头看她，一边微笑一边也用很甜的声音说：“嗨！宝贝！”

可是却换来妹妹很不爽的表情跟语气说：“不是！不是你！是安安妈妈啦！”

妈妈才知道自己“错认”当人家的妈妈，人家在玩她们最热衷的“扮演角色”游戏，安安是妈妈，悦悦是宝宝。

于是妈妈很囧地说：“哦～是这样吗。。。”

一边流汗一边很不爽地想：现在是怎样？那以后就让你的“妈妈”煮饭，做所有家务，侍候你好吗？

（有时候当母亲会让你变成一个心理很不平衡的女人。。。囧）
