I have not yet put my children to sleep in their school clothes, but there are mornings when I wish I had.
我雖不至于讓孩子們穿著校服睡覺，但很多個清晨我真希望頭天晚上自己真能這么做。
I also know that all the planning in the world cannot prepare us for the constant challenges of parenting.

In hindsight, I appreciate my fellow panelist's candor.
事后想想，我很感激這個女人的坦率。

Last year, I was traveling with my children to a business conference.
去年，我帶著孩子們出差去參加一次商業會議，
Several other Silicon Valley folks were attending too, and John Donahoe, the CEO of eBay, kindly offered us a ride on the eBay plane.

When the flight was delayed for several hours, my main concern was keeping my kids occupied so they would not disturb the other adult passengers.
航班延誤了幾個小時，我最主要的任務就是吸引孩子們的注意力，不讓他們打擾到其他成年乘客。
I made it through the delay by allowing them to watch endless TV and eat endless snacks.
通過讓他們不停地看電視、吃零食，我順利地渡過了幾個小時的難關。
Then just as the flight finally took off, my daughter started scratching her head.
隨后當飛機終于起飛時，我女兒開始撓自己的頭。
"Mommy! My head itches!" she announced loudly, speaking over the headset she was wearing (as she watched even more TV).
“媽媽，我的頭癢！”因為頭上戴著耳機（還得讓她繼續看電視），她叫得挺大聲。
I didn't think anything of it until her itching grew frantic and her complaints grew louder.
我沒多想什么，直到她撓得越來越厲害，叫聲越來越大。
I urged her to lower her voice, then examined her head and noticed small white things.
我讓她聲音小一點，檢查完她的頭皮，我發現了一些白白的小東西。
