Let’s Go Bug Hunting More Often

Kids spell love T-I-M-E

John Crudele

  One fall afternoon I rushed home from the university where I taught.I prepared a simple dinner, threatened(恐吓,威胁)my nine-year-old daughter, Christi, to hurry and finish her homework“or else,”and told Del, my husband, not to leave his dusty shoes on the good carpet any more.I then hurriedly cleaned the entry-way because a group of respectable ladies were coming by to pick up some good used clothing for a worthwhile cause; and then later a graduate student would be at our house to work on a very important thesis(论题)-one that I was certain would help a lot with research.

  As I paused to catch a breath, I heard Christi talking with a friend on the telephone.Her words went something like this:“Mom is cleaning house-some ladies we don’t even know are coming by to pick up some old worn-out clothes……and a college student is coming out to work on a thesis……no, I don’t know what a thesis is…… I just know Mom isn’t doing anything important……and she won’t go bug(小虫)hunting with me.”

  Before Christi and hung up the phone, I had put on my jeans and old tennis shoes, persuaded Del to do likewise, pinned a note to the door telling the graduate student I ’d be back soon, and set out the box of used clothing on the front porch(门廊)with a note on it that Del, Christi and I had gone bug hunting.
