唐小B: 后冠的故事

《故事一》

 

香港小姐總決賽，電視播出冠軍佳麗加冕場面。

 

唐小B： What’s that?

 

我：That’s a CROWN.

 

唐小B：I will buy you a CROWN tomorrow, Mammy.  I will go to buy ON MY OWN.

 

我：Really? Thank you.  Where are you going to buy me a crown then?

 

唐小B：At Sogo.  And I will buy you a beautiful one, that’s yellow.

 

我大笑。很開心，阿仔這麼錫我。

《故事二》

 

故事未完。第二天我下班回家…

 

我：TSB, did you buy me a crown today? You said you would buy me a crown today.

 

唐小B：But it’s dark already.  I can’t go out!

 

他說天黑了，要訓覺，所以買不到后冠給我! 因為我們一向哄他，晚上天黑了，不可去公園!

《故事三》

 

故事繼續。

 

買后冠的事，基本上己被忘記了。某天，我們外出，推開大厦的玻璃門，唐小B突然停下。

 

唐小B指著地下，說：See, Mammy, that’s a crown for you!  It’s beautiful!

 

他指著的，是地下的皇冠標誌!!!

《故事四》

 

又隔了幾星期，我又問唐小B后冠的事。

 

我：TSB, have you bought me a crown?  You said you would buy me a crown at Sogo, remember?

 

唐小B：But it’s dark already…(又作狀指著窗外)

 

我：I see, it’s dark.  Then, will you buy me a crown tomorrow when it’s bright? During the day?

 

唐小B：Okay, Mammy.  If I buy you CROWN, will you buy me a CAR?

 

我已經開始大笑!

 

唐小B：There are many crowns at Sogo.  And there are many cars too!
