Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours (绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people dothe fastestshortesteasiest roadespecially when I was alone with four noisyrestless kids who hate confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.

Road trips felt riskyso I would drive faststopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

But then Bannerour lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choicesleave Banner with my husbandor take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.

That is how I found myself on the road with four kidsa baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hourlet Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They’d get back in the car breathless and energizedsmelling fresh from the cold air.

We explored side roadscatching grasshoppers in waist?high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their motheror fish leaping out of the waterit was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons (见识)

We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.

I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of roadeveryone started quarreling.I stopped the carordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journeyand the best part of yourself.

       “Dad! He took a book without paying!” I yelled .

       My father looked surprised. Before the boy could say anything, his mother grabbed his arm and shook it. “Is it true? You stole? Tell me!”

       Everyone was quiet. The boy began to cry, and he nodded his head. He pulled out the comic book (漫画书) from under his shirt. 

       “Oh, Mr. Kim. I am sorry! My Ted made a big mistake!” Mrs. Diaz told my father. She tried to take the comic book, but Ted wouldn’t let go.

       “It’s OK. He can keep it,” my father said with a smile.

       “Oh no,” Mrs. Diaz said. “Let me pay right now ...” She dug in her purse. “How much?”

       “Three seventy-five.”

       Mrs. Diaz’s eyes widened, and she dug deeper. I saw her mouth make a small line. “Three seventy-five?” she asked.  

       “It’s OK. You can pay later,” my father said.

       “No,” Mrs. Diaz said. She kept looking in her purse. “I have money here.”

       I felt bad for yelling, for I realized that Ted had tried to steal the comic book because he didn’t have the money. Maybe the boy could have a job, I thought.

       I had an idea.

       “What if he worked with me?” I asked. They turned to me.

       I said, “He can work with me to pay for the comic book.”

       “Good,” my father said smiling at me. Mrs. Diaz nodded. She turned to her son, “You hear? You will work and buy the comic book!”  

       “Yes, Mama,” Ted said, hanging his head.

       As they left, Ted looked back, and though he still seemed sad, he stuck out (伸出) his tongue at me.

       Ted has been working here for two weeks. He has paid for the comic book, but my father says he is such a good worker that he can work with me as long as he wants. We are friends now.
