“Ordinary” was the worst word my mother could find for anything. Whenever she took me out for shopping, I found she wouldn’t take any notice of the shop assistants when they suggested that some dresses were popular. She would say, “We’re not interested in that. Haven’t you got anything a little unusual?” And then the assistants would bring out all the strange colours no one else would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother wanted to be unusual.
“I can’t stand that hairdo (发型),” she said to me when I was in a boy hairstyle, “It’s so terribly ordinary... Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary ...”
“Couldn’t you please wear something else?” I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents’ Day in tight (紧贴的) trousers and a bright pink sweater.
“What’t wrong with it!”
“It’s just that I wish you’d wear something ordinary.” I said, “People won’t laugh at.”
She looked at me angrily, “Are you ashamed of your mother? If you are, Mary, I feel sorry for you.”

"It was not one object but several," the captain said. "We saw one large and six smaller objects.
