"Did the children behave when you bathed them?" inquired the mistress to the new French nurse, when she returned home from the party.

 

"All but the biggest boy? We have only one boy, Freddy, and he's only two years old."

 

"Which biggest boy? We have only one boy, Freddy, and he is only two years old."

 

"It is not little Freddy, I mean. It is the big boy with glasses and curly hair."

 

"Good gracious! That's not my boy, that's my husband."

 

“你给孩子们洗澡的时候他们规矩不规矩？” 一位女士从宴会回家后对一名法国护士询问道。

 

“除了那个最大的男孩，其他表现都很好。在我把他放到水里之前，他又闹又踹。”护士回答道。

 

“哪个最大的男孩？我们只有一个男孩，弗雷德，他只有两岁。”

 

“不是小弗雷德，我是说那个戴着眼镜卷头发的大男孩。”“老天，那不是我的孩子，那是我丈夫。”
