【译文原创，侵权必究】

妈妈，你的孩子真傻！她太孩子气了！

她不知道街上的灯光和星星的区别。

当我们玩吃鹅卵石游戏时，她认为那是真正的食物，并试图把它放到嘴里。

当我在她面前翻开一本书，让她学习a，b，c时，她竟用手撕开如树叶，并为此开心起来，这就是你的孩子读书的方式。

当我恼怒地向她摇头，骂她，叫她“小淘气”时，她却笑了起来，觉得这很有趣。

大家都知道父亲不在，但是，当我假装大喊一声“爹地”时，她会兴奋地环顾四周，以为父亲就在身边。

当我把洗衣工带来驮衣服回去的驴子当作我的学生，并警告她说，我是学校的校长时，她会无端地尖叫起来，叫我“大大”（表佩服之意）。

你的孩子想抓住月亮，她是如此有趣，她把“甘奈施”叫成“格莱西”。

妈妈，你的孩子真傻，她太孩子气了！

Everybody knows that father is away, but, if in play I call aloud “Father, ” she looks about her in excitement and thinks that father is near.
