事情發(fā)生時，我們倆正站在浴室的鏡子前面。我正在給阿曼達梳理她金色的頭發(fā)。我說：“我愛你，阿曼達。”“我也愛你。”她回道。“噢，那太好了，”我開始逗弄她，“那么，我愛你更多。”她的眼睛瞬間發(fā)亮，因為她意識到了這是另外一場“那么，我更愛你”比賽開始的暗示。“嗯呃，”她笑道，“我最愛你了。”“我對你的愛比火山還要大！”我在這場愛的較量中用了一句最受歡迎的家庭語句迎戰(zhàn)。“但是，媽媽，我對你的愛可以從這兒延伸到中國。”這是她從我們街道上新搬來的鄰居那兒聽來的國家名字。我們用這些美言你來我往地斗了幾個回合。“我愛你勝過愛花生醬。”“我愛你勝過愛泡泡糖。”又輪到我了，我決定使出撒手锏。“我愛你超越整個宇宙！”每次用這招都會勝出的。然而，在這天，阿曼達沒有打算放棄。我可以看出她在思考。“媽媽，”她用溫和的聲音說道，“我愛你勝過愛我自己。”
