很快,母女倆來到了糖果通道。小女孩開始大叫起來,告訴母親要糖,但仍任何表示沒有,小女孩開始哭了起來。母親說:“那里,莫尼卡,別哭了,只過兩個通道,我們將檢查口了?!?/p>
當母女倆到達收銀臺時,小女孩發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有購買口香糖,立刻開始要求口香糖,闖入一個可怕的發(fā)脾氣,嚎叫起來,母親就像沒聽見沉著地說:“莫妮卡,我們將通過這個收銀臺,待5分鐘,然后你可以回家,安穩(wěn)地享午睡。”
跟隨注意母女倆的那位男人到了停車場,對婦女贊嘆:“我看你是非常有修養(yǎng)磨練的人,你對小莫妮卡如此耐心”。
婦女心安理得地糾正這個男人說:“也許,你弄錯了,我是莫妮卡- - -我的小女孩的名字叫泰米。
