英語幽默精讀【69】Stunning Reply
My five-year-old son was not picking up his toys while I was preparing dinner as I had asked him. When I inquired why he wasn't doing his chores, he said that he didn't feel like it. Exasperated, I said, "Where would you be right now if I didn't feel like making dinner?"
He thought for a moment and then replied, " A restaurant?"

我在準備晚飯的時候，我叫年僅五歲的兒子把玩具都收拾起來。當我問他為什么沒做他的差事時，他說他不想做。我感到有些惱火，就對他說：“要是我說我不想做晚飯，這時你會在哪里呢？”
他略加思索便回答說：“在飯店里？”
