选择

周六傍晚胖老爷靓师奶齐齐去珠心算班载我们家少爷。原本计划到谷中城来个“一石三鸟”,逛一逛 /解决晚餐 / 陪宝贝在Jusco游戏场玩Mario(乘下一次学校考试来临之前,胖老爷要颁发少爷上一次考试成绩的奖品,即Jusco儿童游戏场的10个coins,已经拖了很久)。

少爷上车了。妈咪兴致勃勃告知计划,被倒泼一盆冷水。有人不领情,要回家到对面的公园打篮球。

胖爸爸 :”OK. Boy. You have 2 choices .”
“A – Go to Mid Valley. We can go to book store and read books, then kai-kai (shopping), most importantly we can go to Jusco and play Mario. Dad still owes you some coins. Then we can have some good dinner.”
“B- Go home. You can play basketball, foot ball, badminton or any other thing you want, then we will have simple dinner. But I think it may rain later, as the sky is a bit dark now….”
话还未说完,承懿急不及待地 : “Dad, I still choose B!”
“OK, lets go home now.” 开车踏上归途。

回家的车程约20分钟。
在抵达家门前的3 – 4分钟,稀疏的小雨点落在车镜上,耳边响起宝贝儿子“甜
美”的声音:”Dad….I think I want to change my mind now ….I want to go MPH….Borders also OK.”
他妈咪我要借机发作了。
胖爸爸比我还快 : “NO! Samson. We are going home.”
哎哟,出乎妈咪意料之外, 这么忍心让宝贝失望?
胖爸爸意犹未尽,还加上这一句 :”That’s you decision just now, remember?”
承懿当然不悦,还要强辩 :”But dad….that’s my decision just now, I want to change my mind now…dad….it’s start to rain now, I cannot play at the park…..dad….”

妈咪继续保持沉默。

“I know . It’s raining now. But dad had warned you just now about the rain. You said your choice is still B. That ‘s why we are going home.”
“You made the decision. You can not feel regret. You have to think and consider before you answer. Once decision is made, no turn back. Understand?”
“You can go home and read comics, play chess, play with your toys….or watch TV if mommy says OK. So many things to do. Or if you want to do abacus homework also ok.....”

承懿的臭脸拉得长长。。。

“Boy, please be fair. ..You can not simply change your mind like that. Lets say in the exam, you already chose B as the answer, it was wrong. The answer is A. So, will you go to your teacher and say ‘Sorry, 李老师. I want to change my answer from B to A.’可以吗?Do you think your teacher will let you do that?”
“Another example…You see there are so many girls in the world. Dad chose mom as the wife, that’s my choice for the whole life. I can not simply change. Even I see a prettier one, a better one, I can’t tell mom that ‘I don’t want you to be my wife anymore.’ I cannot do that. I have made my decision. That’s it. 你有没有明白?See, we almost reach home now.”

“Yes…..” 儿子被晓以大义之后,脸色好转了很多。

最好的脸色当然是妈咪啦!心花怒放神采飞扬。哈哈!听到如此动人肺腑的“爱的宣言”,还可以无动于衷吗?

虽然胖爸爸的这一番说教有点怪怪,但真的希望假以时日,
承懿会明白‘三思而后行’ 的道理,了解他老爸活生生的举例说明。

到家啦,承懿乖乖在客厅看书。。。几分钟后,因为大风吹
散了乌云,雨停了。这小子很开心地换上球鞋揽着篮球直奔对面的球场啦。。。孩子,要记得爸爸今天说过的一番话。

(后话:胖老爷靓师奶秉持着“无悔选择”的精神,在自家
的前院,一个人修草一个人打扫收拾的夫唱妇随,消磨了一个周六的黄昏。)

  1. 嘿,我喜欢这篇。我也超讨厌时常反悔的人。这些人不但苦了自己,也苦了别人。他们一反悔,你就完蛋,尤其是说好要一起做的事。
