So, You need to keep him?

Nope./But with multiple fractures, he needs to rest./Avoid any abrupt movement and not cough or laugh./Good luck.

How do you feel?

Like that mule done kick me good.Its my dad's expression.

You have seen as miss your parents very much.I'm so sorry!

So, I talked to some colleagues at the Smithsonian./And, everybody is ecstatic that you've chosen for this award.

You have to give me their names.I'll thank them in my speech.

On that topic.. I think we can quote something up for you.

I prefer to write my own speech. Thank you.

OK.

You certainly don't waste any time about it, do you?

No, this is a purple note book.If i'll be writing my speech, it would be in the red one.

Yes, of course.And the purple one is for ...?

"General Observations."

Such as? When did the child become an adult?

When you don't get excited about Christmas, When you wear reading glass right a minute but can't see to find them anywhere? When you pay income tax and enjoy getting angry discussing, "What the heck are they going to do with all your money?"

And when you look down on children whatever is going on in their little heads.

"General Observations." “日常观察” "Общие наблюдения".

Such as? When did the child become an adult? 一个小孩子是什么时候长大成成人的 Например? Когда ребенок стал взрослым?

When you don't get excited about Christmas, When you wear reading glass right a minute but can't see to find them anywhere? When you pay income tax and enjoy getting angry discussing, "What the heck are they going to do with all your money?" 为什么你会不喜欢圣诞节 为什么你会戴着眼镜却一直找不到眼镜 为什么你一边交税，一边生气的说： “他们拿那么一大笔钱都干什么了”

And when you look down on children whatever is going on in their little heads. 还有低头看一个小孩：“他们的小脑袋瓜里都装了什么” И когда вы смотрите на детей свысока, что бы ни происходило в их маленьких головках.
