一反常態,好久3小在上學的路上沒那麼興奮了,特別是寒冷的冬天,每天早上叫他們起床,催他們上車上學總是像打仗一樣。原來,今天只上半天課,學校早上的聖誕禮拜後,接下來就是一連12天的聖誕假期,一直到新年。
Kids had not gotten so excited on the way to school for a while. Every cold winter morning, it was like in a battle to wake them up and push them to the school. Today they just had half day: after the carol service, immediately followed by the 12 no-school days till the New Year!
5分鐘的車程,B一直吵著還要這個禮物,要那個禮物,J和S也不遑示弱,加入陣容。其實早在幾個禮拜前他們就大肆宣告想要什麼聖誕禮物了,而他們夢想的禮物(其實只有S和B,J是被綁架的),我們這“現代孝子”也早在黑色禮拜五那天就幫他們“傳便”(台語)了。人的慾望就像是無底洞般,即使已經到手的禮物都還沒拆開,還沒享受,已汲汲計劃著下一個禮物。
During the short 5-minute commute to school, B kept asking for this and that as the bous gifts; of course J and S joined him. They announced their Christmas gifts weeks ago and eventually after "negociation", the pricy shared gift was prepared on the Black Friday and is now under the Christmas tree waiting to be opened. Greed is like the black whole, before they open it, they have already been seeking for the next gifts.
