题目内容
One night I was sitting in my
room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old
brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed
up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20 minutes later, as I was
walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the
door and asked, “Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No answer.
I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”
Again, no answer.
So, joking around, I grabbed a
stack of (一摞)cards
and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”
An hour later I was still sitting
on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One
was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky
feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s
notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody
in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest. Tommy thinks I’m
silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re
never around to even notice me.”
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote
back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love
you and I’m sorry I don’t
always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”
There was no answer for a while,
but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who
had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”
I wrote back “For what?” it returned to me with “Loving me” on it.
Since then, I try my best to
never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer
relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset,
we’ll smile and say “Write
it on a paper cup.”
