No Hoes 没有锄头

　　A thirteen-year-old boy was sitting on the sofa watching TV when the phone rang.

 

“Hello, my son.” it was his father’s voice, “where is your mother?” (
 
“Mother is working in the garden.”

 be. Why aren’t you helping her?”
 
“I can't.” was the reply. “Grandma is using the other hoe.”

Is there a crib in your stomach? 肚子里有小床吗？

　　When my sister-in-low Leach was expecting her second child, her son Brain would sometimes touch his mother’s tummy to feel the baby move.

One day, while touching her stomach and not feel anything, he asked, “How come the baby isn’t moving?”

“The baby is sleeping.” replied his mother.
Brain thought a moment and then said, “You mean you got a crib in there too?”

有一天，当Brain抚摸着妈妈的肚子感觉不到什么时，问道：“为什么BB不动的？”

“它在睡觉呢！”他妈妈答道。 (来源：英语电影下载 http://bt.englishcn.com)
