“Mump umn kmpfhm，”was all I heard.

“Drew，”I scolded，“no one can understand a word you’re saying.”

A woman sitting nearby leaned over and asked，“How in the world did you understand him？”

“I’m a dentist.”my husband explained.

中国人讲：

在饭店吃饭的时候，我斥责我4岁的儿子满嘴含着食物跟人说话。

“喔，呢。”我听到的就是这些。

“德鲁，”我责备道，“没人明白你在说什么。”

我丈夫平静地说：“他说他要一些番茄酱。”

坐在旁边的一位妇女靠过来问道：“你究竟是如何明白他的话的呢？”

“我是牙医。”我丈夫解释道。
