"The son of a mouse can make a hole", the moment when the father and daughter made eye contact, confirmed this sentence...

During a small chat with the tutor of the cram school, she shared with me an interesting anecdote about her handling of student behavior issues:

At the time, a fourth grader was arguing with another classmate. Sudden--

" ╳you╳╳ba ", he even blurted out this swear word from the Five Character Classic, which happened to be heard by the head teacher.

When the child's father came to pick up the child, the director reported the incident to him. The director originally hoped that the father would have a good talk with the child and explain the seriousness of the swearing. Unexpectedly, the father immediately grabbed the child, slapped him severely, and cursed:

" ╳you╳╳ba, what are you swearing at? "

The director immediately understood why the child was swearing, and could only helplessly smile.

" Children are the mirrors of parents ", I have heard it since I was a child, but the older I get, especially in teaching work, the more I have seen the parent-child relationship, the more I can truly understand its meaning. However, for the first time, I deeply realized how naked and bloody this sentence is, not after I became a teacher, but the father and daughter I saw when I was a tour guide in the former residence of Lin Yutang in Taipei during college - -

That day, I partnered with a school girl, she was in charge of ticket sales, and I led the tour. When I just finished a guided tour and walked out of the exhibition hall, I saw a man in his thirties standing in front of the counter, with a little girl standing beside him. Why am I so impressed with this man? Because he is not only burly, but also wears a straight Tang suit, which looks like a human being.

The junior asked him how many people came to visit. He paused for a few seconds, looked at the fares and discounts written on the sign on the counter, then raised his head and said expressionlessly:

"An adult."

"Where's my sister?" The school girl glanced at the little girl and said, "If you are over six years old, you have to buy a ticket."

The reason why the school girl asked this question is quite reasonable, because the height, dress, and maturity of the face of the little girl are at least eight years old.

" My daughter is just six years old. " The man lowered his head and rummaged through his purse, but I felt he was avoiding the junior girl's gaze. At this moment, the little girl turned her head and peeked at her father. When her eyes met with her father, she showed a sly smile. The man also raised his eyebrows, showing the attitude of a winner, but he didn't stick out two fingers. than YA.

The eye contact between the father and daughter could not escape the observation of me and the schoolgirl, but after all, the ticket price is only 25 yuan, and the girl cannot carry an ID card on her body. field.

More than ten years have passed, and I have watched so many " Parents and Children in the Demon Mirror ", but I will never forget the moment when the father and daughter made eye contact. At that moment, the girl's personality became more stereotyped, and she took another big step towards abduction...

In short, "Children are the mirrors of their parents" -- oh no, I'll correct that, and use a similar but more apt proverb: "The dragon begets the dragon, and the phoenix begets the phoenix, and a mouse's son (or daughter) makes a hole ."
