一封家书

今天在收拾房子的时候,发现一封Tristan写给我们的信,可能是他上写作课时的作文:

12-15-11

Dear Mom and Dad,

This Christmas came on us terribly fast. Now, I have just read this terribly great book called Vampirates, and I was wondering if you could spare a few bucks at Scholastic to get the book, I would be honored.

The year has gone fast and I have done extremely great! Haven’t you remembered the time I’ve been responsible by organizing all my books onto the shelf? Or helping my sister fix her bed? Plus, that time when yall got me “The Son of Neptune”, I read through, it like chopping butter with a machete. Also I read all the books you gave to me, for example, Biggest book of Answers and Questions, The Red Pyramid, Super Diaper Baby 2, Cabin Fever, Ugly Truth, so I hope you see my need for books. If I don’t get books then I can get swatted like a bug. F.Y.I. books are important to me!!!

                    Yours Sincerely,

                     Tristan

P.S. Write back on back of paper for a reply please.

P.P.S. I NEED BOOKS!!!

新年假期里完成了一项巨大工程:将家里两个浴室的已经开始朽烂的手龙头换掉。房屋建筑商为了降低成本,用的水龙头的质量都不好,才五年多,水龙头一些部分已经开始朽烂漏水。原来的水龙头是这样的:

花了近两个小时,把旧的水龙头卸掉:

又花了近一个小时,装上了新的水龙头:

有了经验之后,装第二个就快多了:

很久没有写东西了,太懒了。

九月份应该是丰收的季节了,我家后院的一棵梨树居然开花了,很奇怪。

昨天晚上咳嗽了很久睡不着,于是爬起来做功课,居然第一次把老师布置的作业做完了。今天早上虽然感到很累,但是满有成就感。

太太对于我讳疾忌医的做法很不满,今天早上下最后通牒,要不就吃止咳药,要不就去看医生。男子汉大丈夫一点小病就吃药看医生,太娘娘腔了,不过鉴于最后通牒的严重后果,我带了止咳药到办公室。

咳嗽啊,你快快地离我而去吧。
