I asked my mom where the hair dryer was and she said：“Yell for it.Repeat it and it’ll come to your hand.”

我問我媽吹風(fēng)機(jī)在哪里，她說：“你大聲喊它啊，多喊幾聲它就到你手里了?！?/p>

My bedroom is in a mess. Dad describes it like this： “Every time I’m standing at your door，I have the urge to cry. It wouldn’t get as messy as this even if a burglar entered your room and rummaged through the room. And a mouse would get lost in your room.”

我爸是這么形容我雜亂的房間的：“每次站在你的臥室門口，我都有想哭的沖動。小偷入室翻箱倒柜也弄不了這么亂，老鼠進(jìn)你的房間都得迷路。”

Me：“Mom，where shall I put this chair？”

Mom：“In the fridge.”

我：“媽，這個椅子放哪里？”

我媽：“放冰箱里。”

I spent a long time in the toilet.Dad said：“Next time you should take a quilt with you，in case you fall asleep there.”

我上廁所時間太久，我爸說：“下次，你記得帶床被子，我怕你睡著了?！?/p>

When I can’t find things in our house，I’ll ask Mom and she’ll always roll her eyes at me and say：“Are you new here？ ”

我在家里找不到東西時問我媽，我媽總會白我一眼：“你是新來的？”
