Eat Chocolate Movie?
***
A Joke for You

Last summer, me and my family went to New York City.
We visited American Museum of Natural History.
We were going to see an IMAX movie.
The man selling the tickets asked my dad,
“Are you going to see the ‘Chocolate’ movie?” My dad said, “no!” “Why not?” “I don’t want my teeth to be ruined!” “O, you are going to WATCH the movie,
you are not going to EAT the movie!”

吃’巧克力’电影？
***
给您讲一个笑话
去年夏天, 我和我家去纽约旅游。我们访问了美国自然历史博物馆。我们打算看IMAX巨屏电影。卖票的叔叔问我爸爸, “您要看名为’巧克力’的电影么?” 我的爸爸说, “不要!” “为什么不看?” “我不想坏我的牙!” “哦, 您是看电影, 您并不是吃电影呀!”

Surprise Comments

From time to time, Tanya surprises us by some spontaneous comments we never expected a kid to utter.
Recently, she saw a message in my computer screen “feel young” and commented promptly:
“It is good to feel young, but it is better to BE young.” I was amazed.

A couple of years ago, we went past a Jewelry Counter when Tanya made a comment: “This cultured pearl looks better than that freshwater pearl.” “My God”, the shop assistant could not believe this from a 5-year-old kid.

妙语惊人

时不时, 甜甜会突然冒出一些惊人妙语。最近, 她看到我的计算机屏幕上一行字”感受年轻”。甜甜及时评论道: “感受年轻固然好, 但本身就年轻岂不更好。” 我惊异万分。 两三年前, 我们走过一个珠宝柜台，甜甜作出了如下评论: “这颗养珠比那颗淡水珠好很多。” “我的天”, 售货员不能相信此话出自一个5岁孩子之口。
