靖愷知道,R姐姐雖然自發在學習廣東話,但要跟她溝通,還是要說英語。靖愷的英語不算好,幾個月前問他鯨魚的英文,他還在說"king yu!",想不到他也能和R姐姐溝通(相信比我和她的溝通更好)。

今天早上,有人大呼"i want cow pants!" 你猜這位仁兄想要甚麼?

原來是日有人想扮cowboy穿牛仔褲是也。

helper

靖愷很早以前就知道,家裡除了將有妹妹加入,還會有helper。

靖愷不算慷慨。對他不認識的人,他一般都不願意分享他擁有的任何東西。

靖愷只知道helper的名字,和看過她的相片。不過,純真的他早已將她當成自己人。有時候說吃的、說玩的,他都會預留妹妹和helper的一份。

helper還有一個星期便會來到,我們第一次聘用外傭,有太多的不懂,更特別憂慮相處的問題。朋友勸告說,初時不要待helper太好,避免她將來要求太多。

總覺得,相處是雙向的。如果待她好,她是否會用心點?但畢竟她又是個陌生人,你怎也不能沒有防人之心。很矛盾呢,其實我最怕就是管人。

both mac and i have to work irregular hours and we have no choice but to hire a live-in helper to help take care of two kids.

rafael had known the coming of the helper for months. he's actually sweet enough to be counting her as our family member and reserving things for her already.

i've heard too many horrible experiences and stories about hiring helpers. with our helper coming in one week, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will work out fine in our family.
