晚上,快睡觉了,儿子想起来第二天有alto saxophone课,赶紧练了25分钟,让我签好字。
然后儿子就开始发感慨了。他说,妈妈,我们为什么整天要做这么多事?要上学,要些作业,要练琴,要练saxophone,要锻炼。。。。
我说,做这些事情1是要你将来有能力养活你自己,2是要让你有能力fully enjoy your life.
儿子说,我知道,可是,at the end,每个人不都是要死的吗?what's the point of doing all these stuff if you have to die.
我说,做这些事情是为了使你自己happy呀. 就算是有人给你东西吃你饿不死,你什么都不做,多boring呀?
儿子说,I still don't understand。For example,I play video games. When I play,I'm happy。But after a while,when I get to the hightest level,I'm bored again. Then what's the point to play it at the firt place. So people keep finding thing to do, and keep getting bored. What's the point?! I'd rather stay at home,lying on the floor, stare at the ceiling.
我说,那你会bored to death!
儿子说,then I'd like to experience heaven.
我说,你去了heaven可就回不来了。
儿子说,I'll。I'll be back as a ghost,playing video games at somebody's house,and they'll see the TV is turned on by itself,and the remote control play the game all by itself. 嘿嘿嘿。。。
我觉得现在他真正enjoy,有成就感的事情不多。He is doing great in school, but I can tell he's not paying much of attention to the school works. 他的课外活动so far就是钢琴,游泳(on and off),画画,lego robotics class(最近学校offer了这个课,我们在外面花钱上的课就暂停了)。我又不是虎妈,学校的功课我基本不管,最多是给他找些好的课外书推荐给他读。画画和robotics是他最喜欢的,他平时在家也喜欢自己涂涂画画的,也喜欢做些手工。问他以后想干什么,他说想build stuff, 但build什么还没有想好。
我现在对他有点黔驴技穷了,一是讲道理不太能convince他,另外想跟他一起explor一些他会喜欢的事情又有些力不从心。儿子最近的attitude就是,反正这些事情都是要做的,我就赶快做完,get it over with。然后我想玩什么玩什么。可是他玩也玩不出什么新意来了,所以他bored. 大家帮帮忙,有什么可以让他这年龄的孩子学或者玩的?谢谢!
