Or grown up
My mother was very proper and dignified ordinarily, but she could have an acid tongue when occasion demanded.
Two of my friends had stopped in on a Sunday afternoon on their way to visit another couple who had just had a baby. We had a drink and talked a lot, and another drink and talked much more. Finally my friend said to her husband , ”John, we’ve just got to be going or the baby will be asleep!”
“Or grown up,” said my mother.
长大了
我妈妈通常是很正径、很有格调的，但是在某些必要的情况下，她说话也很尖酸刻薄。
有两个朋友星期天下午正好路过我们家，他们要去探望刚生完孩子的一对夫妇。我们喝着酒聊了好久，之后又喝了一杯，又聊了一会儿。最好，其中的妻子对丈夫说：”约翰，我们真的该走了，否则孩子都睡着了！“
”不，是长大了。“我妈妈说。
