A Journal-3S

(2017-06-23 11:06:06) 下一个

It’s been more than a month since I last wrote in English.  Without much reading recently, I feel my brain gets rusty. If a brain is like a wheel that needs grease, then reading is the oil.  After coming back from the trip, I tried to resume reading WSJ every day. However slow and limited it is, it is ongoing.  I am forcing myself to write something in English today. If reading is the required oil, then writing is the reinforcement that keeps the oil to retain longer . :))

3S

My husband coined the 3S many years ago when he was educating his daughter.  He hoped that the daughter could always remember to be sweet, strong and smart, in whatever the situations are.  A couple of years ago, when he taught her to drive, he came up with another 3S, i.e., safe, smooth and swift. He has been proud of his two 3S’s and would like to repeat them whenever there is any chance.

Two or three days ago, I was reading WSJ, and one paragraph caught my attention.  I don’t remember the exact wording, but it goes something like this.  If ever asked what the secret to a long-term marriage is, happy couples would probably tell you that it is communication, space and sex. I read the sentence out aloud to my husband, without paying much attention to the daughter who sat in the corner.

Out of blue, I heard a voice from that direction. “ Too bad. They could not come up with three Ss.”

She is just such a humorous girl that she is the sunshine in the family. She looks quiet and nonchalant, but you never know what she absorbs in her mind. She observed everything her grandmother said in China, and mimicked the way Grandma talked and acted after she came back to the states. The acting was so vivid, lively and entertaining that we burst out in laughter. Where does that talent come from? 

It is not in my genes, and it is definitely not from me.:))

暖冬cool夏 回复 悄悄话 回复 '迪儿' 的评论 : 是啊,要珍惜和孩子一起的时间,你我都一样。至于读英文,毕竟我是这个专业出身的,总是有点喜欢,总想着如果哪一天没工作了,会不会靠这个吃饭...LD总归是LD,总结的能力必须的:)))
迪儿 回复 悄悄话 妹妹很有行动能力。我也想强迫自己读些英文,目前还在明日复明日阶段。老公很不错,有理工男的总结能力,看来文采也不差。多享受和开心果女儿在一起的日子。

Once-always 回复 悄悄话 又读到暖mm的英文佳作,这么说女儿的幽默感肯定是从你家那位3S的原创者来的了,不过暖mm的文字生动鲜活,她的表演天赋肯定是从你那儿来的。强强联合,才有这么可爱的女儿。
