The next time the UPS man came, I wanted to explain, but he seemed to be in a hurry. Never mind, I thought, let him think what he wants. But it was some time before I allowed Erin to“make Mommy pretty”again.
Today, I looked at the lovely young woman before me and thought, well, it was practice for a day like this. Though it wasn't based solely on her appearance, of course, she got the job-and made her mom very proud.
今天，大女儿艾琳要去面试，她中途到我这里待了一会儿。艾琳21岁了，已经准备好到大公司去闯荡了，我为她感到骄傲。在参加面试之前，她来到我这里，一是为了让我给她参谋一下着装，再就是与她一起祈祷。
