历史悠久,悬而未决的一个“大”问题,貌似让我家小K娃给找到了一丝线索!
电台里听来的问题:“How does Santa manage to send gifts to all the kids in one night?” 糖豆很肯定地说:“Because Santa has MAGIC (这没啥稀奇的)! He can behave like (Quantum)Particles! He can be everywhere at the same time。Just like Bohr found out!” 关于“How do Reindeers fly?”糖豆咯咯笑:“No!They can't fly!That‘s just fable!Santa uses Quantum Entanglement to teletransport!” 糖豆还给自己的“理论”找了些依据。他圣诞夜兴奋地有些睡不着!whisper着对我说:“You know why kids have to sleep when Santa comes over?”我也whisper: “why?”他开心地说:“Because he can't let you see him!Just like electrons can be everywhere until you measure them!If you measured it,you changed it and fixed it!Santa can't be fixed in one house。 He has to go everywhere tonight!” 我想想他说的,好像蛮有道理的嘛。(别砸哈!对于非理科生的糖豆妈来说,糖豆这两把刷子够科幻小说级别的了!)
发散性思维!Everything is possible!糖豆敢想敢说。
1. 一贯的,糖豆不愿意和Mall里的Santa合影。他说: "He is just a hired helper!"
2. 今年,糖豆问:“Who is Santa!Really?” 我只知道Saint Nicolas生前乐善好施,被封了Saint。糖豆pause几秒钟后感慨道:“Santa now sees Aurora (北极光)every night!He must be happy all the time! If I could see Aurora every night,I would want to share my happiness (Gifts) with all other kids too!”
3. 今年,糖豆问:“What is Christmas!Really?”我答:“Jesus’ birthday!”糖豆大惊呼:“What??Then it has nothing to do with Santa!” (是不是有点儿‘愤青’的苗子啊!)
4. 今年,糖豆很想“表现”好。给Santa写信时,据称他还和Santa唠家常,按他的话说:“I just write something like ‘we had the first snow’ that sort of things!”问他为什么,他答:“Because Santa has feelings too! He might want to chat with people。But most of them just want to get gifts from him!”(最大优点儿就在这里了:心好嘴甜)
5. 圣诞夜,糖豆想飞去North Pole:“It is JUST 4000 miles!”我问:“You want to see Santa?”他摇头笑:“No!Santa won't be there!I want to give Santa a surprise when he returns!A gift for him!” (糖豆妈看到“前途一篇光明”,糖豆貌似知道“感恩”。)
6. 糖豆问Santa要的两个礼物是:Hexbugs(不要set,只要bug)和 Perplexus Twist (只差这一个球了。他玩这成精,居然总结了不少‘深奥’物理出来。有空来818!)礼物到手后,小人发现:“made in China”和“Made in USA”字样。先问:“Elfs hand make toys?”我不点头也不摇头!他说:“Santa must have ordered from those toy factories!Since the factories already have what I want, no point to ask Elfs to make by hand again!”我松口气!
7. 糖豆问爸妈要的礼物居然是(我太佩服他了):“All the music composed by Mozart and Beethoven!”还有Costco看见的那本超大超厚的Art Museum Collection!当时糖豆为他的钢琴老师选了这做礼物。(反响很好,老师激动地给我个hug,说是在欧洲学音乐的同时也学的art!难怪他们师徒俩那么投缘呢!)
对了,小子不相信Santa真知道每个孩子表现好坏。“Santa is not a stalker!” 他认为都是家长去“打小报告”的!他觉得不能问Santa要得太多,显得greedy就不好了。(反正爹妈还要给圣诞礼物呢。。。
)糖豆灰常同情Christmas生日的小朋友,他问我认识几个?然后说:“Their parents might not buy birthday gifts for them because they think ‘the kid can get gift from Santa anyway on that day’!”
