When my wife went in the hospital for surgery several years ago, a rule prohibited children under 12 from visiting patients. Our 11 －year －old seemed to understand, but our six －year －old took the restriction very hard. We discovered why she was so unusually upset when we heard her talking to her mother on the phone for the first time. As she said good bye, she tearfully exclaimed,"I'll see you when I'm 12,Mom！"
幾年前,我妻子動手術(shù)時,醫(yī)院有條規(guī)定 禁止12歲以下的兒童探望病人。我們11歲的孩子似乎能理解,可6歲的女兒對此卻非常傷心。等聽到她頭一次給她媽媽打電話,我們才明白她為何如此分外激動。在電話里,她邊說再見,邊哭著喊道 媽媽,等我12歲時一定去看你！
