My dad walked out of the bathroom, next to the room, wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around him. When Shelia looked up he said, "Shelia, Pm Chuck's dad," and then he quickly pulled the towel from around himself and dropped it to the floor!We could remember her gasp to this day, and could just see my dad standing there with his long pants rolled up above his knee, with that giggle in his eye.Even if Mama served pancakes on paper towels I dare say none of us would miss an opportunity to go back there and renew our hearts with good memories till the dinner bell rang again.生词速查giggle 咯咯笑sister-in-law 弟媳recall 回忆wrapped 包住gasp 深吸气rolled up 卷起来( ) 1.

She had been shopping with her Mom in the supermarket. She must have been 6 years old, with beautiful brown hairedand freckle-faced. It was raining heavily outside.We all stood there under the awning. We waited, some patiently and others angrily. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world.Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in. "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said."What?" Mom asked."Let's run through the rain!" she repeated."No, Honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain.""We'll get wet if we do," Mom said."No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she caught her Mom's arm."This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?""Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!'"The whole crowd stopped dead silent. I promise you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. "Honey, you are right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just need washing," Mom said. Then off they ran.We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case they got wet. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.生词速查freckle-faced 雀斑脸awning 雨篷mesmerize 迷住hypnotic trance 昏昏欲睡cancer 癌症scold 责骂ignore 忽略affirmation 肯定( ) 6. The girl’s mother had beautiful brown haired and freckle-faced.( ) 7.
