英語小故事：園藝手套

幾個月以來，我一直在向丈夫暗示我需要一枚新的.結婚戒指，因為我對黃金有點過敏。生日那天，我正在幹園藝活時，丈夫問我想要什麼禮物。我舉起雙手説：“嗯，你肯定看到了，我的兩手都是光光的。”

那天晚上，我滿懷熱情地拆開了丈夫送的禮物。“生日快樂!”他説。我打開一看：裏面包着一雙園藝手套。

Several weeks after our son began his freshman year at Alma College in Michigan, my husband and I decided to visit him. I was careful to call him a few days in advance to "warn" him that we would be coming. When we arrived at the dorm, however, I was taken aback by the disarray of his room. "Forgot we were coming, didn‘t you?" I teased.

"Are you kidding?" he replied, "Why else would I have bothered to clean?"
