detailing their parents, siblings1, which class they had been in the year before, and their interests. 并描述他们的父母、兄弟姐妹,以及他们各自的兴趣爱好。
How could she possibly know all this? 她怎么可能把这些全记住?

Later that same year, I dropped my son off at school on St. Patrick's Day. 还是那一年,我有一次送孩子上学。
As he got out of the car wearing his favorite blue T-shirt, the same mother pointed2 out, "He's supposed to be wearing green today." 他穿着最喜欢的蓝色T恤,刚一下车,那位无所不知的母亲就说:“今天是圣帕特里克节,他应该穿绿色的衣服。”

and I'm a bad mom Guilt4 management can be just as important as time management for mothers. 我真是个糟糕的妈妈。对母亲来说,控制负罪感和时间管理一样重要。

Sure enough, when he was about eleven months old, he was crawling on the floor of his room and put his knee down on a toy. 果不其然,当他11个多月大,能在自己房间的地板上爬来爬去,有一次被玩具绊倒了,
He looked up for help, crying, and reached for her instead of me. 他大哭着向保姆而不是我伸出小手。
It pierced my heart, but Dave thought it was a good sign. 我十分难过,但戴夫认为这是个好兆头,
He reasoned that we were the central figures in our son's life, but forming an attachment5 to a caregiver was good for his development. 他的理由是,在儿子的生活中我们是核心人物,但对照顾他的人形成一种依恋感则有利于他的成长。
