儿子的2028

(2008-12-04 21:02:42) 下一个
儿子今年春天还在五年级的时候,和班里同学一起畅想了他们的2028,也就是二十年后的他们. 然后所写所画被老师装订成册。这个周末,他又拿出来和我一起看.

他们班二十多个学生,想干什么的都有。电脑工程师,宠物店老板,驯马师,医生,英超联巨星,作家,家庭主妇,不一而足。不过,共同的特点是每个人都提到了家庭孩子和自己的另一半,大部分都是想象自己有一男一女两个孩子,有的连名字都起好了,一家人过着正常的生活,除了我家儿子. 这是他写的.

My 2028

In 2028, at a humble little house on Writer’s Lane in XXX, XX, I was bothered. I had no family other than my maniac dog, Dan and my horde of robots.

Fizzle… Fizzle… Dan had broken N.A.D. (Nerdy Artificial Dog) in a dog fight for who would be snoozing on the couch. N.A.D. as usual had lost. Vacuum… Dust…Mop… Dry…SPLASH! My clean-up droid, that drove me nuts by singing clean up… clean up… everybody clean up… Etc., Etc., Etc.

I felt bored so I sat down at a desk and brought N.A.D. with me. I looked at him… groan… fang marks straight through his head! I called out “Tool box please!” soon enough a robot whizzed by dropping me a tool box. I easily fixed N.A.D. since I had invented him. Dan came to me whimpering and holding his leash. “All right Dan.” I said, “We’ll go for a walk.”

I put on Dan’s leash and opened the door. I walked out toward the sidewalk. Suddenly, a solar powered hovering Subaru sped right over me and barley missed my head. “Crazy driver!” I cursed. I ran quickly to the park.

When people saw me they asked “When is the next Jerry the Menace book coming out?” I was an author as well as an engineer. For my writing life I had created a best selling series called Jerry the Menace out of one of the stories I wrote 20 years ago. I wasn’t a big hit in my engineering, in fact I consider myself lousy at it. Crash! I had crashed into the newly established Albert Einstein Memorial. I felt silly for not looking at where I was going. I was feeling tired so I led Dan home.

When Dan and I got home I opened the door and… Bam! A plate flew and hit me on the head. I saw Dan leap toward my attacker, the clean up droid which had started to sing “On top of mount bloody…” I fell over and landed hard on my face. When I got up Dan had completely had tore my clean up droid into pieces.

In 2028 you sure make some interesting friendships. 

他的很多想法让我抓狂。

他坚定地认为如今的人们太物质,太贪婪,总是追求自己不需要的东西。他觉得生活能简单则简单。他不想要家庭,认为小孩子太麻烦。他觉得父母亲都太专制,尤其是亚洲父母,永远要求地太多。。。

天地良心,我做错了什么吗?好像显而易见。
