laundry, meals, carpool, snacks and outings. The only thing on my husband's description would be the
word "fun" written in big red letters along the top.
Our parenting styles complement each other. His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to
worry about washing their hands, or eating vegetables. I'm too busy worrying to be fun. Besides, every
time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband.
I bought my children bubble gumflavored toothpaste, and I taught them how to brush their teeth. They
thought it was neat until my husband taught them how to rinse(濑口)by spitting out water between their
two front teeth like a fountain.
I tried singing fun songs as I washed behind my children's ears during bath time. They enthusiastically
sang and clapped until their father came in and taught them how to catapult (弹射) the soap into the sink
with the washcloth.
I took the children for a nature walk to corral (把……赶入……) a slow ladybug(瓢虫)into my son's
insect cage. I was "cool" until their father came home, spent two minutes in the backyard, and captured a
beetle the size of a Chihuahua (吉娃娃,一种产于墨西哥的狗)．.
I try to tell myself I am a good parent even if my husband does things I can't do. I can make sure my
children are safe. But I can't wire the VCR so my children can't watch their favourite video.
I can carry my children in my arms when they are tired and kiss them good night. But I can't flip them
upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths
flying inside the light fixture.
I can take them to doctor appointments, but I'll never go into the wilderness to fish. I'll even sit in the
first row of every Little League game, but I'll never teach my children how to hit a home run or slide into
first base.
I can do a lot of things for my children, but no matter how hard I try, I can never be their father.

The price of gas has been going up. We do not know when it will end. Many people want to know how they can save fuel(燃料)． The best way to save fuel is to change driving habits．
The accelerator(加速器), or gas pedal，has a lot to do with how much gas you use．The faster you drive, the more gas you use. Drivers should slow down a bit to save fuel. Driving at a steady speed helps to save much gas you use．Accelerating slowly to get to the speed you want helps save gas, too．
