Not My Fault

上周某天放学，乖小宝见着妈妈就迫不及待地告诉妈妈，Mommy, today at computer time I watched a video on the computer, it is about Divorce!

如此深刻的话题，是读小K的小朋友需要懂得的吗？心中固然有千转万转，面上却仍旧是云淡风轻地发问：喔，都说了些啥啊?

乖小宝马上滔滔不绝地宣道，Families can change. When two adults are not happy with each other, they might fight a lot, and they might  sign a special paper to get a divorce. If your parents divorce, they might get remarried again, the other parents might have children too, so you might have step-brothers or step-sisters. But remember, divorce is never a child's fault。 Some children might feel their parents divorce because they don't study well at school. But that is not true, divorce is never a child's fault! So mommy, if I don't do well at school, and if you and daddy divorce, it is not my fault!

听着乖小宝有如留声机般的复述，妈妈一方面佩服乖小宝记忆力良好，一边暗咒，给小朋友适度心理建设是必须的，但这美国也未免太能未雨绸缪了吧。可话又说回来，电脑上各种读物video多了去，也就咱家这只好奇宝宝会挑这种灰色题材来看吧，所以怨来怨去还是怨基因啊。

将计就计问乖小宝，如果爸爸和妈妈要离婚，你怎么想？It‘s your choice and daddy's choice. When I grow up, if I marry and I want to get a divorce, then that is my choice. Remember, divorce is never a child's fault!【如此置身事外，全无想象中中国式痛不欲生地捍卫美好家庭的劲，不平衡啊。现在知道为什么美国父子关系淡薄了吗，全是这些毒草给闹的：-）】

心中虽有些小不爽，但人家说的也一句没错，妈妈自然也就不好反驳了。

隔两天，全家准备出门时爸爸磨磨蹭蹭还借口多多，妈妈很不爽地站在门边吼一声，快点啦！这一声没把爸爸叫出来，反倒是乖小宝乐颠颠地跑到妈妈面前，很有狗仔风范地询问: Mommy, do you want to divorce Daddy now?

【这么盼父母离婚的小孩不多见啊】Why do you think I want to divorce your daddy?

乖小宝讨好地解释，Well, your guys are fighting【这狗仔水平就是高，吼一声就成fighting了】, if you want to divorce, you can, that is your choice, and daddy's choice too. It's not my fault.  Families can change。

听着乖小宝给妈妈指出的康庄大道，妈妈只是哼哼地冷笑两声无下文，因为。。。怨来怨去还是怨基因啊。

今晚，三个人和乐融融地围着饭桌吃饭，突然有人无厘头地来一句，Mommy and Daddy, when you divorce, you might feel bad, you might want to talk with your friends，it’s okay to share your sadness with your friends。

两个大人听了惊诧地停止动作足足三秒，这什么跟什么呀，而且这跟刚才的话题一点都没关系啊！是可忍孰不可忍，妈妈忍不住吼回去，你是那只眼睛看出我和爸爸要离婚啦？

乖小宝一看苗头不对，无辜地辩解，I just want to discuss this, I just want to share some information with you, so you know what to do when your parents, or daddy's parents want to divorce. Remember, divorce is never the kid's fault. You can always talk with your friends, and your kids too!

经过多年上岗培训，妈妈知道乖小宝每隔一段时间都会发掘出一个兴趣点，孜孜不倦一知半解地研究，而离婚不过是最近的研究焦点罢了。可见风就是雨的乖小宝还敢把爷爷奶奶拉上贼船？妈妈无语了。
