随便胡噜一件T恤和短裤下楼会友。大恐龙无事生非，问正忙着wii上锻炼的瓜子儿：“Sydney, look, look! Does your Mom look cool?” 瓜子儿漫不经心地瞥了我一眼：“ Yeah, a little bit.” 大恐龙不怀好意地咧着嘴牙子笑，显然很满意这答案对本人自尊可能造成的打击。
在挑衅面前，作为一战士，我肯定不会无动于衷。“瓜子儿，does your Daddy look cool?” 瓜子儿停下脚步，上下打量一遍一身摺巴巴的大恐龙，“ Yeah! Daddy is way too cool!” 两人对视后无耻地笑了。大恐龙更是满意瓜子儿的配合。
瓜子儿在wii上玩high了，迟迟不肯睡觉，非让我陪她聊天儿。半明半暗的灯光下，她用小手帮我把头发放在耳后，轻声细语地说：“妈妈，我可真喜欢你……”
“你喜欢我什么呀？我又不酷。”
“ Mommy! You knew I was joking. I meant the opposite.” 说得一脸真诚，我还真就信了。

“I know three Nicoles. And I think Nicole in pre-k is the most fun one.” 瓜子儿幼儿园中班有个老师叫Nicole，曾教过瓜子儿半年，现在也还经常一起玩。
“可不是嘛，她的工作就是天天和你们一起玩。她要是你妈妈，你就不这么说了。”
“She would be fun even if she is my Mom ... You are the least fun one of three Nicoles.”
“怎么说话呢？”
“OK, OK! You are the third most fun one. ”
杰夫在给瓜子儿颁发毕业证时说 "She is beautiful and she is too smart ... ...she carries on conversation with adults ... ... sometimes we treat her as a teenager. " 我觉得她一阵阵地看起来也跟十好几了似的
一到家便张罗着让昨夜辗转反侧的瓜子儿午睡。瓜子儿跟在我身后，突然严肃地问我：“Mommy, were you sad without me last night?”哎哟哎我就语塞了，一时无法用准确的语言表达我复杂的心情。瓜子儿又追问一句“Were you?”
以我对这小东西的了解，她问的态度表明她心里已有答案。咱索性明人不做暗事，“Not really. I had a headache last night, actually I still have the headache. I was suffering, mhmm, and I was thinking of you a little bit.”
“I just knew it. Why didn't you say it when I fisrt time asked you?”瓜子儿平静地问。
“I didn't know that was a serious question.”
