我们在电影演完后,开始闲聊起来。
温暖的炉火,圣诞的彩灯,家人的笑声,这一切使我满意地笑了。
这时,母亲说:“想去”
母亲的话还没说完,整个屋子就没人了,比输了足球赛的看台空得还快。
房间里只剩下我和我的男友托德。
他满脸困惑,问我是怎么回事。
我看看笑着的母亲,对他说:“让我们准备去给母亲的汽车加油吧。”
他马上回答说:“外边冰天雪地,而且,现在已经是夜里十一点半了。”
我笑了笑说:“那你最好穿上大衣,戴上手套。”
我们迅速地擦掉挡风玻璃上的霜,一起进入车内。
在去加油站的途中,托德让我解释为什么要在这样的天气、这么晚的夜里给妈妈的车加油。
我咯咯地笑着说:“每次我们兄弟姐妹回来过节,都要帮爸爸为妈妈的车加油。
我们把它看成一项游戏,我们能猜到妈妈什么时候让我们去,最后留在房间里的人要为她的车去加油。”
