下班回家後﹐懶地煮飯﹐去了一個常去的中國餐廳吃飯。在結帳時一個媽媽帶著一個可愛的小女孩排隊在我後面﹐那個小女孩大概只有五﹑六歲吧。在等找錢時﹐我看她可愛﹐就跟她用英文談起來。她媽媽大概是聽我用台語跟老闆娘說了幾句﹐就很驕傲的跟我說﹕”我們有教妹妹說台語哦。“然後媽媽就催促著小女孩﹐要她跟我說台語。結果小女孩用很可愛的稚嫩嗓音叫我”阿桑“大家當場很尷尬的愣在那裡。哎呀﹐超級可愛又超級討厭的小孩子﹐好了﹐我大概是妳媽差不多年紀啦﹐可是妳也不用這麼誠實吧。想當年我也是個青春無敵的美眉呢。看來今晚保養品要多塗一些了。
I am extremely tired today and too lazy to cook. So after I went home, changed and showered, I went to a Chinese restaurant that I frequently visit. After dinner, while I was at the counter to paid my dinner, a mom with a very cute little girl waiting in line behind me. That girl was probably five or six. While waiting for change, I started conversation in English with the little girl because she is so cute. Her mom, perhaps overheard I talked to the owner's wife in Taiwanese, told me that they taught the little girl Taiwanese. Then mom urged the little girl to talked to me in Taiwanese. The little in her cute and tender voice, called me "auntie." Everyone was ill at ease. Oh, mine. Super cute yet super annoyed little girl. OK, fine, I am probably the same age as your mom. But you didn't have to be so honest. I was once a young hot chick you know. I guess I will use extra facial cream tonight.
