发帖数: 25759 | 1 A brief theological discussion with a six-year-old guru, which
occurred during the thought-inspiringly dizzy hours of the early
morning, in a comfy, toasty bed, the best place for such
sophisticated intellectual exchange:
Me: How do you think Santa gets into people’s chimneys, since
he’s so big?
Guru: You know, you can suck your belly in and hold your breath
—like this—and become a lot skinnier.
Me: Can you get into the chimney while doing that?
Guru: I’m not Santa! Santa is not an ordinary human. He can
make himself really, really skinny.
Me: You mean Santa turns himself into a snake at every house?
Guru: No! Not a snake! He needs hands to hold the presents!
Silly daddy.
Me: Good point. And how does he keep his clothes from getting
all dirty? If you get into the chimney you’ll come out all black,
right?
Guru: Santa has a broom. Before he goes in, first he goes "sweep
sweep sweep."
Me: At every house?
Guru: Yep. He has to.
Me: How would he have the time? He has so many houses to go
to all over the world—the United States, Mexico, China, Germany,
Madagascar; every country in the whole world, all in one night.
Guru: But every country has its own Santa.
Me: You mean there is a Santa just for the Unites States?
Guru: Yep.
Me: And there is a Santa for Cuba?
Guru: Yep.
Me: And there is a Santa for Haiti?
Guru: What’s Haiti?
Me: Never mind. So the Santa for Cuba will be done with his chores
a lot faster than the Santa for the United States, right? The United
States is a lot bigger, and it has more people and more houses for
Santa to visit.
Guru: I think so.
Me: Then what would the Santa for Cuba do for the rest of the night?
Guru: He comes to America and helps our Santa.
Me: What about the Santa for China? China has the most people,
and that means all the Santas all over the world will end up in
China eventually to help that Santa, right?
Guru: No. People in China live in big, tall buildings, all together.
It’s easier for Santa to visit them.
Me: But they don’t have fireplaces and chimneys. How does Santa
get in?
Guru: Santa doesn’t have to get in. He can leave the presents by
the door.
Me: But wouldn’t they get stolen?
Guru: No, because people don’t stay up that late.
Me: But your brother did.
Guru: He’s not bad people, daddy! Bad people don’t stay up that
late. They go to bed early on Christmas. They don’t steal stuff
when Santa’s around.
Me: Because they are afraid Santa would give them a lump of coal?
Guru: Oh yeah—what’s coal?
Me: …Let’s get up now.
And that was the end of the discussion, because that last question
was well beyond my limited intellectual capability. Nearly three hours
later, I am still wondering: How do you explain to a six-year-old born
and raised in suburban America what on earth coal is? |

as always:
--What would you like for Christmas?
--Nothing.
--What do you want to do on Christmas?
--Sleep.

我美美地睡了个下午觉，为今天晚上的跨年做准备。去Hyatt最高层的Vue bar,俯览浦
西浦东，champagne和红酒白酒免费畅饮，会在酒精中思索我的2015, 希望它是不管得
意失意都尽欢的一年。你呢？

发帖数: 3422 | 17 本想在家乡找一个国企20W陪父母养老，一腔热血献给祖国；
却不料国企说没位置价太高；
无奈中，被上海某外企相中，猎头说你100W要价太少。。
我无语。
生活啊生活，你本想倾情对她的时候，她却无情地来恶搞你！
思前想后，俺还是在这边100K的安逸吧，
公民还是不公民，纠结啊，为自己还是为孩子？
不过，还是期待回去陪父母，
这么多年，欠他们的太多，花花世界也看够了，
只想求黄皮黑发的归宿感。
