天使的歌聲

女兒快5歲了，還不會認字。小一的面試關口近在眉睫，做媽媽的心裡著急，於是每天抓著女兒認字。溫柔嚴肅抓狂恐嚇全出齊了，也看不到女兒的寸進。
有一天，飛上海。在往酒店途中大塞車。突然很掛念我那不長進的女兒，於是拿出她的錄音聽。女兒心情好的時候會自己創作歌曲唱給我聽。我珍而重之，因為那些都是她最不假思索的內心世界。

I have a little mummy
I’m a little princess and my daddy is one king
I love my Prince too
So I sat down and my Prince talked with me and we talked
And the pizza was arriving
And mummy eat together
And Matthew was sitting with his own daddy and I was sitting with mummy
And daddy was sitting with my grandpa
And we all sat down and eat, eat
So we can chat together
Once the sparkling in the skies
So I can eat another cow.

這首歌反映了她對表弟的喜愛，因為她直接稱呼他為王子，也表達了家庭在她心中的重要地位。她作的歌曲裡面有很多關於星星的描述，符合了她夢幻唯美的性格。而且要不是透過她的歌，我還不知道薄餅店是她最喜愛的用餐地點，因為她很多的歌裡都有薄餅店,就像這首:

The little lion is friendly with me
I’m the little princess the lion is friendly with me
And the lion said grrr
And I said what is he talking
And he was talking not just that
And I actually turn him back to a prince
So that prince walk with me at the happy day
He went with me
Went to the pizza hut with me when it’s at night
We should go back home, I said
He said he don’t want to go back home yet, yet
Ok then, I said
He sat down and eat eat eat eat

把友善的獅子變回王子，然後一起去吃薄餅。太晚了她想回家(現實裡一天黑她就要回家)，但王子還不想回家，她也順著他，對王子的愛可見一斑。

除了王子，爸爸是她生命裡第二關心的男子 (I feel sorry for her dad) :

A garden garden
And so much flowers
And the snail eating the lettuce
I wish my papa don’t eat too much junk food
I love eating veggy
And it help me to be longer hair
And I love veggy all the time and I eat it all the time
I love adorable cat
A kitten you will say
And I love it
Bye bye

她爸爸很喜歡吃零食，讓女兒吃也沒有手軟。我只好跟她說吃蔬菜頭髮會長得特別快，這應該就是這首歌的出處。至於那隻小貓，她突然說：a kitten you will say.也有它的玄機。媽媽習慣了在她說話的詞態不對時糾正她，好像她說: she stand there last night.我就會說:：oh she STOOD there last night! I see.
大概她說了adorable cat後，突然揣測媽媽會覺得 kitten比cat adorable，可見她也注意到媽媽在措詞上非常龜毛的特點。

還有這一首：

I’m a little princess Brother is a prince
and I live with my Prince and I love him
My mum is a queen and my daddy is a king
And I love my Prince
I love my soldiers too
And I love to play with them all the time
Then I fly with my little wing
One I fly
And the dolphin swimming in the sea I love it
When I love adorable kitten
And I love them
And they are so sweet and I love them
Like a kiss on the sky and the spots on the sky
And I love you too
To you.

天上飛的海裡遊的地上走的，用愛連起來就是她無限寬廣和甜蜜的世界。

聽完了她所有的歌，我突然意識到，在一個4歲人兒腦袋中那些無窮無盡的想像比認識那些對他們來說毫無意義的方塊字和字母連串重要太多太多了。來生我還想做香港人，只是這一生我不要做一個香港式的父母。我要女兒的腦袋告訴她什麼時候要認字，而不是其他任何人的腦袋。
