I also try to customize every opportunity to teach my children that there is almost always something beyond the obvious; that there is something else going on besides what they see in front of them.”Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. As is so often the case in my family, the original subject leads to another and another, until we are discussing something quite different.

我也利用一切機會教給孩子們知道任何事物不單有其表像，更有其深層原因的含義。 我解釋說：”蛇為了獲得新生，所以要蛻皮。”正如我家常常出現的情況，最初的話題會引出其它一個又一個新問題，直到我們談論的內容與最初的毫不沾邊為止。
