20、elp with dinner, his response shocked me. Whats a colander(漏勺)? he asked. I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody elses hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadnt pre

21、pared Ray for.

I appreciate what you do as a mom, he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes theres not

25、hing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless. Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. Thats what I call a man.
