Chapter 3 pretend

pretend one "Put me an elephant?" I said to him. He is busy with some strange texts on the computer, he is not like this in normal life.Serve a bowl of instant noodles and talk about homework. If there is anything special, it is like a child. I didn't look at him very confidently. Can he agree to it now that he looks so deep?See that brow is still furrowed. He looked at me with some surprise.I mustered up the courage to say it again. "Well, okay." He nodded, "It's not easy to pretend, you have to find a long nose." I handed over a scarf and made do with it. Although it was a bit floppy, it was still long enough.

"What about ivory? Don't elephants have two long tusks?" "Just raise your own arm." "That was tiring." "But this is pretending. Otherwise, it wouldn't look like it." So he raised his arms again, but the elephant looked a little thin.I put another big quilt on him.You know it's hot summer.He was sweating very quickly. "Elephants can take a bath. You have to use your long trunk to suck some water, and then spray yourself." I brought a basin of clean water and said to him. He soaked the scarf in the water, twisted it, and said mockingly while twisting, "Because the elephant's nose is soft, so even if it twists into a twist, it won't hurt." Then he wiped his face well.

I looked at it distressedly, regretting the idea of ​​this elephant bathing, because it was my favorite scarf. "Why do you pretend to be?" He still asked me. "No reason. I also want you to pretend to be a kangaroo or a bunny." I just spent this summer afternoon with an elephant.Although this elephant sweats profusely from time to time, I wipe my face with my favorite scarf from time to time. In the evening, my mother called us to eat.By this time the weather had cooled down.The elephant is also much more comfortable. I am going to eat.He is still not moving.Mom yelled again.He responded, "Bring me a banana."

"Why? If you don't eat well, what kind of banana do you eat?" "Because I'm an elephant now." Mom finally couldn't help pulling the quilt away and untiing the scarf.He still doesn't move.Wait for that banana. I walked over with a banana. "Dad, stop pretending, let's eat." He rubbed his waist and finally straightened up. "Why should I pretend?" he asked again. I look at my toes. "Because, because, I want you to stay with me for a while." He picked me up. "Well, okay. I'll pack a kangaroo for you tomorrow, make a small bag, and put you in it."

"No, you can pretend to be yourself tomorrow. You do your thing, and I'll just watch from the side." As a result, the next day, he kept me on his lap and went about his business. I'm obetient.As good as an elephant's daughter. two "Can I be your mother once?" I thought for a long time before I got up the courage to ask this question. He seemed to be thinking about it seriously for a while. "If you think so, take it for once." So I immediately put on my mother's high heels and the dress that I had been coveting for a long time.Of course, it looks like a cloak, and it looks like there are two boats on the feet.I can see that he endured it for a long time before he laughed.

"You didn't bring it up just to wear your mother's clothes, did you?" "Of course not." I also shook my head very seriously, "It's just that it should look like this." "You can't smoke, it's not good for your health." I dragged my big shoes up and snatched his cigarettes. He looked at his cigarette reluctantly. I am very proud. "Because I am your mother, so you have to listen to me." I've wanted to do this for a long time, but you treat me like a child. "Are you hungry?" I asked him.He shook his head hesitantly.Probably remembering all the totally inedible things I've made.

I still generously donated my popcorn and bubble gum, which is completely reluctant to me.But I am a mother now, and I have never heard of anything that a mother is reluctant to give to her children. The kid didn't seem to appreciate it though, he just ate a few grains of popcorn and the bubblegum didn't move at all. "Do you want to go out and play? I'll lead you." He nodded.But he pointed to my clothes, you can't walk like this. I thought about it, so I changed my mother's things that had been crumpled and crushed, and replaced them with my own skirt and small shoes.

So he rode a bicycle, put my mother on the beam and took her to the park to play. When we rode the roller coaster together, I touched his head and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." He looked very peaceful. When eating ice cream, I told him: "Eat it quickly, you can't play while eating, or it will melt." He was very obedient.It turned out to be nothing left for me, and I was a little bummed.You know, he used to give me half of it. The day ended with a bowl of beef noodles.I gave him the beef I didn't eat.He said: "Mom will not throw something she doesn't like into the child's bowl." As a result, I ate something I didn't like for the first time.It turned out that the taste was actually not that bad.

When it was dark, I took him home.I was in a daze when I got out of the car, and he carried me into the house. Mom was yelling, skirts, shoes. He said don't yell, and little Benben fell asleep. I opened my eyes as he put me back on the crib. He still asked me the sentence: "Why do you want to be my mother?" "Because I want to take care of you too, Dad." I said something vaguely and fell asleep. He didn't say anything more, just kissed my face and closed the door to go out. three He was still busy there, constantly looking at the letters flashing on the computer screen, remembering them one by one.He said that if you remember all these things, you can go to the other side of the earth.

I don't know where that side of the world is, it just feels like it's somewhere I'll never be able to go.I crawled back and forth on the ground and got covered in ashes.When I passed by his feet for the twelfth time, he finally looked away from his computer and saw me. "What are u doing?" I didn't speak, just raised my dirty little face and barked twice.Meaning I'm a puppy now. Oh, he nodded, making it clear.Then I started to look at his letters again. I picked up a small stool and climbed up the cabinet, but I couldn't step on it stably, it was wobbly, and it was very dangerous.

He finally got away from the computer and hugged me down. "What are u doing?" I didn't speak, just waved my little hand, scratched my face, and meowed twice.Meaning I'm a kitten now. He frowned. "The cat is not so misbehaving. The cat is sleeping at this time." I hum twice. "But the cat father will sleep with the kitten, and will not carry those strange things." He ignored me, put me aside, and started looking at the stuff again.I climbed onto his computer desk and stood in front of the screen. No matter how he asked me this time, I didn't speak. In the end, I was really anxious to ask, and I said, "I'm a computer now, so I can't talk." He pretended to faint. "What else do you want to do?" He turned off the computer this time and asked seriously, putting me on his lap. "I still want to be a ship, I still want to be an airplane, and finally I want to be a computer." why? "When you go to the other side of the earth, if you go by sea, I will be your ship, if you go by sky, I will be your plane. When you arrive, and you have to look at the computer every day, I will be Your computer, so you can see me every day, and I can see you. I won't miss you." He took me in his arms and kissed my forehead. "You'd better be my child." "Why? Dad." "Because Dad will never leave his child behind. He will take you with him wherever he goes, look at you, and think of you." I nod. "Me too."
