童言童语3-Colleen

1) 近来C olleen的胃口不好，自己吃饭吃几口就跑开了。我问她，“I have fish, meat and vegetable. Which one do you want?” Colleen 说，“I DON’T want anything.” 我无语。等会C olleen会喝很多奶来充饥。

（从小孩会自己吃饭开始，我就让她们决定吃或不吃。不吃就会饿肚子，因为家里不会开小灶。 慢慢地， 孩子自己明白，正餐通常会 喂饱自己。 ）

2) 佣人挡住Colleen的抽屉，Colleen很firmed地说，“You go away！ I want to do something．” 佣人走开，Colleen拉开抽屉，拿出小勺子，就很利索地推回抽屉。 才两岁半的人儿！说话像大人。

3) Colleen生病了，还在床上睡觉。我关着房门。过会，Colleen自己打开房门出来，看到我，叫妈妈。我问她，“Did you turn off the fan?” Colleen说，“Off already.” 我进去房间查看，真的。 小人儿自己醒来， 若发现风扇开着，会关了再出去，是个做事很有条理的小孩。

Are you OK?

我家的爸爸被一位老板客户给报了名，要在下个拜六参加一个友谊性质的卡拉OK 比赛。这位老板是比赛赞助商之一，他的女儿也有参赛。 我估计比赛是作秀，主角是这位公主。看在客户兼朋友的份上，爸爸给足了面子，选了欧得洋《当你孤单你会想起谁》 。

昨天下午饭后，爸爸练了一下。Celine坐在爸爸的旁边吃红梅果酱土司。果酱不知怎的掉到爸爸的脚上。爸爸可能练歌太投入，没注意到。Colleen 坐在爸爸的另一边喝水。忽然，Colleen的塑料杯子掉在地上，刚好砸到爸爸的脚。爸爸吓了一跳，大声喊: “Colleen！” “Are you OK?” Colleen无辜却又满怀关切地问他爸爸，看到爸爸脚上的果酱，以为爸爸中彩了。爸爸顿时软化了，笑着说:”这个孩子。”

每逢爸爸可气又无奈时，总是笑着说:”这个孩子。”我的七婶也曾经跟我这样说孩子的爸爸。

童言童语2-Colleen

1）

Colleen=>”I want to eat coconut.”

Dad =>”You want to eat or you want to drink coconut?”

Thinking for a while, Colleen said,” I want to eat and drink coconut.”

2）

看到洗手间的水龙头在滴水，Colleen看着我说，“它在撒尿！”

3)

Celine买了一条两个巴掌长的猫鱼。开始猫鱼放在塑料的鱼缸里。某天，大家听到一声巨响“啪！-“Celine冲去一看，猫鱼跳出鱼缸，来个空中大翻空， 摔到地板上，嘴巴因为用力过度，出了癔血。壮烈啊！太可怕了，这条鱼。马上把鱼转移到冲凉房门口，不做观赏用！等着我有空去放生。

某天，我对着鱼发愁，说，“Bears eat fish.”
Colleen=>"Bears don’t eat fish. Bears eat lions"
Me=>"Lions eat meat."
Colleen=>"Lions eat strawberries."
Me=>"Where do bears get strawberries from? The Farm or the supermarket?"
Colleen=>"No, cannot.We go supermarket. Lion cannot go. Lions don’t have strawberries."

4)

Colleen => “I want fresh milk.”

Me=> “Don’t have any more.”

Colleen pointing at the Refrigerator => “Have, inside.”

Me=> “It’s finished.”

Colleen=> “HOW COME?”

Me=> “Your sister finished it yesterday.”

Colleen walked away without saying anything.
