Being Practical (Of a Child)...

A young mother was relating to me a conversation she recently had with her precious young son.

It was during a very usual morning. The mother was already nicely dressed and seated herself in front of the mirror getting ready for a face-lift, and her little boy who had just woke up walked near to her and requested...

Very Little Boy (requested in a sad tone) : 妈妈,不要去工作。留下来陪我。

Young Mum : OK lor. 不要去工作。那么,就不可以买玩具了,也没有 Mac Donald.

Very Little Boy (with an insistent tone) : 妈妈,去工作。快一点去工作。



《玩具》 是小孩子们生存的主要推动力之一。
我们生存的主要推动力是何?

那一段对白或许会让我们发笑。
小孩子很明确的了解自己要些什么。
我们知道我们要的是什么吗?

我们可能会说那个小孩好现实。
会不会是现实的社会、现实的父母所影响的呢?


What's our driving force?
What we really want?
Is the world we live in being too practical?

Heh.. What am I talking about? Mm...
