卡卡英语 第485期:Oh My god! 亲爱的, 6个孩子就拜托你了
亲爱的，6个孩子就拜托你了
自从二胎政策放开以来，很多家庭都又增添了一个小宝贝。两个孩子，似乎成了每个家庭的标配。当然，二胎也必然会让很多父母却步，比如没有精力去照顾两个孩子。我们今天要给大家分享一位母亲，她有6个孩子，你可以想象这样的生活吗？
更令人惊讶的是，这位名叫Meghan Maza Oeser美国妈妈居然给丈夫留下一封满载“育儿建议”的信，然后和闺蜜来了一场说走就走的旅行。

school season返校季
pissed off生气，不高兴；愤怒
fresh out of刚用完，刚卖掉
下面就是她的这封信的内容，我们一起来摘录部分看一下：
首先，先是一段铺垫
Dearest Husband, I'm writing this to you out of love, not fear. I wanted to go over a few things with you before you embark on this weekend alone ... with the others.
亲爱的老公，我给你写这封信是出于爱，而不是恐惧。我想在你这周末独自在家看孩子之前提醒你几件事。
爸爸下班回家是这样的
The others will hug, jump, and for the most part, be pretty excited to see you. This will be short lived...I promise. School season or not ... this is also known as hell hour.
孩子们在家会互相拥抱，蹦蹦跳跳，当然，他们会很高兴看见你。这很短暂，我敢保证。有点像返校季，这也是我常说的地狱时间。
女孩子的战争是这样的
It's most likely that Quinn will be pissed off about Penny wearing her Elsa dress, and Penny equally pissed off because Quinn will ONLY refer to her as Anna.
通常Quinn会因为Penny穿着她的Elsa连衣裙而生气，Penny同样生气，因为Quinn只会把她称为Anna。
吃饭的时候是这样的
Bailey will want pizza, while Harper will ask for hot dogs. Quinn will cry when you say the word hot dog, and will insist on mac n cheese (but not the orange kind or the white kind, but the purple kind). We'll be fresh out of the purple kind, so she'll then ask for toast. You'll already have started making mac n cheese for Penny, but since she heard Quinn ask for toast, she'll also want that toast.
Bailey想吃披萨，而Harper要吃热狗。 当你说热狗这个词时，Quinn会哭，她坚持吃通心粉（不是橙色或白色，而是紫色）。我们紫色的刚吃完，她会要吃吐司。你已经开始为Penny做通心粉了，但是因为她听到Quinn要吃吐司，所以她也想要吐司。
睡觉的时候是这样的
Quinn, Harper, and Bailey will go down seamlessly. Just wait. As they lie in their beds, they'll then realize that their tiny mouths are on God damned fire, and they'll act as if they've just walked 800 miles through the Sahara. They will come down...one by one...every God damned 5 minutes...for water.
Quinn，Harper和Bailey一个个的下来。当他们躺在床上时，他们会意识到他们的小嘴巴跟着火了一样，他们会表现得好像走了800英里穿过撒哈拉沙漠。 每隔五分钟，他们一个接一个地下来喝水。
最后，这位妈妈告诉自己的老公，她要半个月才能回来！
