Surprise

Don't ever pay a surprise visit to a child in college. You might be the one getting the surprise. I learned this the hard way when I swung by my son's campus during a business trip. Locating what I thought was his fraternity house, I rang the doorbell. "Yeah?" a voice called from inside.

"Does Dylan Housman live here?"

"Yup," the voice answered. "Leave him on the front porch. We'll drag him in later."

 

惊喜

         从来不要冷不丁地去看你上大学的孩子。因为你有可能成为被吓一大跳的那个。一次，我在出差期间绕道去儿子的大学，结果得到这个教训。那天，琢磨着那就是儿子住的男生宿舍，我按了门铃。“什么事？”一个声音从里面传出来。
        “迪伦豪斯曼是住在这吗？”
      “没错”，那个声音回答。“你把他放在走廊上吧。我们过一会就把他拽进来”。
