7、owing up too fast. 这话有多真呢？英国近期的一项调查显示88%的被访者认为他们的孩子成长的太快了。Your mom is just one of those parents who are really scared that their little boys or girls will someday outgrow them.你的母亲正是其中一员，这些父母们真的很担心自己的孩子会在某一天成长到不再需要他们。Those accessories do make my outfit look better.这些配饰确实很搭我的衣服。When you insisted that
8、 her dress would be much improved if she wore the pair of big dangling earrings you gave her as a birthday gift, she never disagreed. 当你坚持对妈妈说，如果她戴上你作为生日礼物送给她的那副大耳环，衣服会更好看时，她绝对不会反对。But if you were watching her closely, youd have seen her slipping a couple of things from her jewelry box into her purs
