讓小朋友讀一本父母的書,然後女兒問甚麼我也回答:「不知道,你 覺得呢?」

晚飯後,我拿了一本《娃娃看天下》(西班牙語:Mafalda)是剛去世的阿根廷漫畫家季諾(Quino)筆下的一輯漫畫。跟長女讀了幾個故事後,她走到飯枱拿了本林志明的《複多與張力:論攝影史與攝影肖像》,她指著書中的相片問我: 「這是甚麼?」然後我不斷答:「不知道,你覺得呢?」她回答:「四個人,返緊學。」「飲湯,食哂啲麵飲哂啲湯。好熱㗎嘛!咁咪要除衫囉。」

湊女和返工很攰的爸媽,不用太努力,好好享受小朋友的解讀。

Ask your child to read a parent’s book. Whatever question my daughter asks, I answer, ‘I don’t know. What do you think?’

After dinner, I took a copy of Mafalda, a comic series by Quino, Argentine cartoonist who has just passed away. After reading a few stories with my elder daughter, she went to the dining table and picked up Lin Chi-ming’s Multiple & Tension: On History of Photography and Photographic Portrait. She pointed to a photo in the book and asked me, ‘What is this?’ I then kept answering, ‘I don’t know. What do you think?’ She said, ‘Four people. Going to school.’ ‘Drink soup. Eat all the noodles. Drink all the soup. So hot! He needs to take off his clothes.’

Parents who are tired from looking after daughters and working need not work too hard. Sit back and enjoy your children’s interpretations.
