吃过早餐后,我郁闷得想哭。
年轻时,我们意识到父母对我们不公平,于是我们便发誓不会再犯同样的错误,去那样对待我们的下一代。
然而,我们在对待自己的孩子时,有时会不由自主地说出当年父母对我们说过的话。
我们成了我们所熟知的那类人。
这个男孩注定会用父亲对待他的这种刻薄的方式去对待他的孩子。
我把小费连同餐费一起放在桌上,带好自己的东西,准备从主餐厅离开。
我应该从侧门离开,那儿离我比较近,但我想看看那对父子,这对于我来说很重要。
到门口时,我故意穿上外套,拉了拉拉链,以便趁机扫视一下房间,寻找到这对父子。
此时,又传来一阵大笑。
他是一个上了年纪的人,矮胖,秃头,身穿机修制服。
那个男孩大约十二三岁,与同龄人相比,似乎高许多,也瘦削许多,他戴着一副眼镜,耷拉着脑袋坐在那里。
令我吃惊的是,那位父亲把手臂搭在儿子的肩头,与刚才那刺耳的讥笑截然不同,他面带微笑地看着儿子,而儿子也像是在挑战自我似的抬头微笑地望着他,彼此间的爱意都溢于言表。
我压抑的情绪顿时舒朗了许多,我笑着看着他们,此时他们也抬头看到了我。
这男孩一切都会好的,当他有了自己的孩子时,他们也会在某个周六早上互相取笑诋毁,共享上班前的早餐,如同现在一样。
对于他们来说,那定会是一个美妙的清晨。
