Hello Dad. Finally（最后） you're home. I was waiting for you. How was your day? Hello Darryl. Yes, I'm tired.

  It was a busy day today. How are you? Yeah, I suppose（猜想） so. I'm fine. I also had a tiring（令人疲劳的） day at the school, you know. Yeah, I know.

  Well, I just came for my jacket. I have to go out again. Dad, why don't we go for ice cream? Do you remember when we used to do that? Ice cream. But we have a lot of ice cream in the fridge（电冰箱）.

  You don't need more. Yeah, I know we have ice cream in the fridge. But I meant ice cream from the ice cream parlor（客厅）. And the one that is next to the mall（商场）, do you remember? We used to go there for delicious ice cream. I ate chocolate with strawberry and you liked the vanilla（[植]香草） ice cream.

  Why don't we go there? What? Why? I mean, we have chocolate ice cream in the fridge. We don't need to go out. And if you want another type of ice cream, you can call to the ice cream parlor and ask for some.

  Yes, I know. But I wanted to go with you. It's been a long time since（因为） we went to that ice cream shop. I don't understand. Do you need money? I already（早已） gave you $500.

  It's not about money that my friends go out with their parents at least（最少的） once a week. They go to the movies or to eat something in a restaurant. Why can't we do that? That's maybe because your friends' parents don't work as（ 像…一样） much as（ 像…一样） I do, my son. Tell me something. Don't you like your life?

  You have everything. I worked hard for it. You study in a good school. You have one of the most beautiful houses in the town. You have the best clothes. Last month we bought a computer.

  It was very expensive. I thought you could be playing with that computer all day. Didn't you like it? Yeah, I like it. I play with my computer, but not all day. It's boring.
