I found myself yelling and telling him he would never get the belt acting like that. I was trying to teach him his backflip (后空翻) .He continued to play and I 5 to yell. Finally I had made him feel like he couldn't accomplish 6 ,just as I promised myself I wouldn't do. 、
Still mad and stubborn I couldn't 7 I had to teach him this flip. He was doing fine with it 8 we had to leave to go to karate. While taking the test,he did great. His instructor would ask him to do something,and it came 9 for him. He never 10 him to do the backflip. He passed his yellow belt test.
We got in the car to go home,when he looked at me and said,"Mum,11 did you make me do that backflip so many times,when it wasn't 12 on the test?" The words wouldn't have 13 anything to anyone else,but it was a slap in my face. That night while lying in bed,I told him I 14 I him.
He was playing,didn't 15 anything,and just giggled (咯咯地笑) .I said,"I really do love you,baby. " I was still feeling 16 ,and also wondering if he had 17 me. Finally he replied in the 18 voice,"I know you do,but I love you more."
