啊，多么痛的领悟，先教宝宝喊妈妈还是喊爸爸？

I came home from work one day to find my wife, Jolynn, cradling our six-month-old daughter and repeat - ing, "Da-da, Da-da."

一天，我下班回家，发现我的妻子乔琳抱着我们六个月大的女儿，重复着：“爸爸，爸爸。”

How sweet, I though to myself, for her to choose Daddy as our baby's first word.

我心里想，她选择“爸爸”作为我们孩子说的第一个词，真是太好了。

Several weeks later, Jolynn and I were wakened by a small voice crying, "Da-da."

几个星期后，我和乔琳被一个小声音吵醒：“爸爸。”

Turning over to go back to sleep, my wife said, "She's calling you, dear."

我妻子转过身去继续睡觉，她说：“亲爱的，她在叫你呢。”
