女大十八变。。。

女儿刚到十三岁，感觉是懂事了很多，说起话来小大人似的，比我这个当老妈的更理智些。。

昨晚，上完大提琴课，已快八点，天乌黑，空气凝重，快下雪了！我们急急忙忙地往家赶。一路上，看到有人家门前，挂满熠熠闪烁的红绿白色，还有鹿啊圣诞老人之类的。女儿感叹，Mommy, 我们也该装饰一下咱们的房子了！我点头同意。 “我知道，Mommy没时间，也没有钱。。。

讲到圣诞礼物，她说，Mommy, 你准备给我买什么呢？我说，你要什么？她说，我就要双Puma的鞋，没其他。My friends make long wish lists to tell their parents what they want for Christmas. Mommy, you are lucky that I am not like them. 不过，我会Make A Wish List. 但是，你不用给我都买。把list放在冰箱上，以后，我如果考试得高分，或得什么奖，你就可以给我买一样， 鼓励鼓励我。（她就是这样，经常引导我，如何来带她）

又说道，她的朋友都有个长长的wish list。 有一个人要一个Tiffany的戒指。I do not understand why she would ask for a Tiffany ring. It is so expensive. She is not old and responsible enough to take care of an expensive Tiffany ring. She will lose it. I won’t want a ring like that. I will wait until I am older enough. Maybe when I graduate from high school, Mommy, you can get me a Tiffany ring. （又来引导我了！）

Talking about private schools, “Quite a few of my friends are having interviews with private school these days. Their parents are willing to make the investment on private schools. That is understandable. But I do not need to go to private schools. I know our town has very school system. I can do very well in our public high school. I am sure I can get into one of those ivy leagues. I can do it!”
