1． 一日陪睡，照例对儿子母爱泛滥：“I love you, sweetie. My love is higher than the ceiling.” 自己正暗自得意这一比喻，那边儿子发话：”I love you too, mommy and it is higher than CN tower.” 说的我目瞪口呆。  

2． Halloween 之夜，儿子向他的朋友抱怨： “Uncle always bothers me.＂(Uncle 指我弟弟)。
“Do you bother uncle, sweetie?” 我发问
一阵沉默之后， “But uncle always bothers me first.”
晕到。看来儿子以后是做Lawyer的料： 永远都不能说自己不对。

3.一日晚餐，儿子和他的好朋友M谈到了结婚， 儿子说：
“Boys marry girls and girls marry boys.”
我得乘机灌输这个：” You are right that boys marry girls and girls marry boys. Who do you want to marry? “
“You, But wait till I get bigger. I will marry you when I am twenty-nine.”
“Thanks sweetie. I will wait.” 感动的一塔糊涂。但还得接着问，因为还有一个坐在我的右边。“M, who do you want to marry? “
“ Nobody. Since only one women here and J will marry her. Mommy married Daddy so I can not marry her. Because you can only marry one people.”
突然觉的孩子们长大了。

4.和儿子讨论FAMILY PET 有好一阵了，最后决定现在先养一只猫，等儿子五岁以后，再养一只狗。我的目的是想让孩子认识到什么是责任感，什么是爱。如果他能从爱动物体会到什么是父母之爱，那就是BONUS了。于是母子二人有了如下对话：
“J, who is going to feed the cat?”
“Me”
“Who is going to clean up the cat’s poopoo?”
Silent and then
“Mommy, you take care of me, I take care of the cat, the cat take care of horsy (his sleeping buddy) and the horsy will take care you….”
他倒是颇懂循环之道。

5.快到儿子睡觉的时间了，我照惯例提醒他“Play with Tiger for 5 more minutes then you go to sleep.” (Tiger is our cat). 儿子也照惯例答到：“OK。”
一分钟后，我提醒 “ 4 more minutes.”  ‘OK.”
又一分钟后，我说 “ 3 more minutes.”
“No, not 3 more minutes, it is still 4 more minutes” 儿子高声抗议。
“Why? “
“Because Tiger did not play with me. Only the time playing with Tiger counts. “
我哑然。 没错，是我逻辑不够严谨。只是不成想让这小子看出来了。
看来以后母子斗法有的好看的了。

6. 放学归来，儿子告诉我：“ I am going to marry Olivia, Siena and Maid, and you.”
“But sweetie, you can only marry one people at a time. “
“But every one wants me to marry every one. “
“ Sweetie, you have to choose one. You can not marry all of them at the same time.”
After some silence,
“I will marry Olivia. But Mom, I will marry you when I am bigger. I will marry you when I am 30. (得，上次刚说等他29 岁的时候MARRY ME， 一会功夫，他改了年龄，我又得多等一年。)
