我兒子在一所中學讀二年級時，在一家超級市場找到了一份包裝商品的業餘工作。他滿面笑容地回到了家。

　　「第一天感覺如何？」我問。

　　「好極了，爸爸。」他答道，「我跟許多漂亮的女孩子講了話。」

　　由於斯蒂芬不善言談，我問道：「你跟他們說了些什麼？」

　　「你是喜歡紙包裝還是塑料包裝？」

Part-time Job

When my son was a hign-school sophomore, he got a part-time job sacking groceries at a supermarket. He came home all smiles.

"How was your first day?" I asked.

"It was great, Dad," he replied. "I got to talk to some good-looking girls."

Since Stephen is not very talkative, I asked, "What did you say to them?"

"Do you prefer paper or plastic?"
