　　　　　　　　　　　 Three Boys and a Dad

Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go and visit your mom.”

Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（节拍）. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所）.“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

Our "Mommy and Me" time began two years ago． My next-door neighbor and fellow mother， Christie， and I were out in our front yards， watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down． "I wish I could take one of my children out alone，" said Christie．

Then we worked out a plan： when Christie takes one of her children out， I'll watch her other three． And when she watches two of mine， I'll take someone out．

The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me" time． Christie's daughter， McKenzie， went first． When she returned， the other children asked her tons of questions． McKenzie was smiling broadly． Christie looked refreshed and happy． "She's like a different child when there's no one else around，" Christie shared with me quickly． With her mother all to herself， McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention．

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie， I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times． For example， I am always surprised when my daughter， who is seldom close to me， holds my hand frequently． My stuttering（口吃的）son， Tom， doesn't stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak． And the other son， Sam， who's always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together．

The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child - talking， sharing， and laughing， which has been the biggest gain． Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while．

Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.

Yang Li, a five-year-old girl living next door to me, very clever. Because she is not old enough to go to the school, she often asks me to teach herself to read, write and draw. She studies hardly and soon she learns a lot. One evening last month I was doing my English homeworks when she came to my house. She asked me how I learned English. “You would find English a bridge for so much knowledge,” I said. She then wanted to learn English, either. She has learned many English words so far but her parents are very grateful to me.
