The woman had been away for two days visiting a sick friend in another city. When she returned，her little boy greeted¹ her by saying, "Mommy, guess what! Yesterday I was playing in the closet² in your bedroom and Daddy came into the room with the lady next door and they got undressed and got into your bed and them…”

一个女人离开家两天，到另一个城市去看望一个生病的朋友。当她回来的时候，她的小儿子见到她就说:“妈妈，你猜怎么着?昨天我在你卧室的衣柜里玩，爸爸和隔壁的阿姨走进了卧室，他们脱了衣服上了你的床……”

Sonny’s mother held up her hand. "Not another word. Wait till your father comes home and then I want you to tell him exactly what you’ve just told me. " The father came home. As he walked into the house，his wife said，"I' m leaving you. I' m packing now and I' m leaving you.”

妈妈抓住他的手说:“不要讲了，等到你爸爸回家了，你就把和我讲的全部讲给他听。”孩子的爸爸回来了。当他走近房间的时候他的妻子说:“我要离开你。我现在就收拾好行李，我要走了。”

"But why--"asked the startled³ father.

“但是，这是为什么?”他吃惊地问。

"Go ahead，Sonny. Tell Daddy just what you told me.”

“讲给他听，儿子，把你告诉我的讲给他听听。”

"Well,”Sonny said，"I was playing in your bedroom closet and Daddy came upstairs with the lady next door and they got undressed and got into bed and then they did just what you did with Uncle John when Daddy was away last summer.”

“好吧，”那个小家伙说，“我正在你卧室的衣柜里玩的时候，爸爸和隔壁的阿姨上楼来，然后他们脱了衣服上了床。然后，他们就像是去年夏天爸爸不在家时你和约翰叔叔一样。”
