阅读理解
I stopped to watch my little girl
busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone; in the other a toy. I
listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I'll never forget
the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, "Suzie's in the
corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do
the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll well dressed. It
was obvious that she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her "conversation",
as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up and I just don't know
what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play
games too. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach.
And she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the time to teach. I have
a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit
and play—don't you know what I mean?"
And that day I thought a lot about
making some changes in my life, after listening to her innocent words which cut
me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.
I'd been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the years.
But now my attitude has changed
because in my heart I realize that I've seen the world in a different light through
my little darling's eyes. So let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) cut the
corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I'm not going to worry about keeping
up with them anymore.
I'm going to fill the house with
memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood and we will never
get another.
