Mom: What happened, peter? Did you have a fight?
Peter: No, mom. I didn’t.
Mom: Did somebody hit you? Or did you just fall?

Bleed 流血
Happen 发生
Fight 打架
Hit 打，打击
Fall 落下，跌倒
Pick nose 挖鼻子

When monsters lurked beneath my bed,
And scary dreams ran through my head,
When thunder growled those sounds I dread,
There you were,
My father.

When scuffed up knees made me cry,
Soft hankies wiped my sad eyes dry,
Coaxing me each time I tried,
You were always there,
My mother.

In times of trouble, times of need,
I feel such strength surrounding me,
Without whose love I can't succeed,
I love you all my family

Jenny: Dad, how do you say this word?
Dad: “Sword”, say it “sword”
Jenny: What does this word mean?
Dad: Look it up in the dictionary.
Jenny: Dad, can you just tell me what it means? I’m too lazy.
Dad: No, honey, go and read it. You’ll learn.
