A太太来做身体检查。

我:"妳女儿没陪妳来吗?"

她:"有,她去附近买东西,才过来。"

我:"今天,全身检查,包括记忆。"

她:"我记忆可好,50年前的事都记得。当年,我女儿才几个月大。有一天晚上,尿布用完了,没包尿布,女儿睡不好。百货公司快关门了,我丈夫赶快开车去买,差点撞到一个路人!"

我: "哦!"

敲门声。

我:"进来。"

她女儿:"妈,我买了这品质好的给妳。"

她:"用了就丢,品质好,浪费钱。"

母女对望一眼。我看见包里装的是成人穿的尿布。此刻,气氛里渗透出来的不是尴尬,而是一股温馨。

Lask week, Mrs. A came for a health checkup.

I asked her, "Is your daughter coming with you?"

She replied, "My daughter will be here soon. She is buying something."

I said, "Today you'll have a full checkup including your memory."

She replied cheerfully, "No worries. I've good memory. I can remember things occurred 50 years ago when my daughter was a baby. One night, her nappy ran out, she couldn't sleep well. My husband drove to a shop. In a hurry, his car nearly hit someone!"

"Oh, " I responded.

Knock, knock.

"Come in," I answered the door.

Her daughter came in with a big plastic bag in her hand.

She told her mom, "I bought this good quality stuff for you."

Mrs A replied, "They're disposable, no need good quality, a waste of money."

They looked at each other. I saw a bagful of adult nappy. The atmosphere was filled with love, not embarrassment.
