「mommy i’m home.」

現在10點多了，該是ariel上床躺平的時候。

「young lady, you finally remember your curfew—now you owe your mother an explanation—sit down, right now.」

可蓉卸下書包，拉出椅子，坐在媽媽面前，邊撥弄沒時間解開的三股辮。

「now, be really honest. tell your mother, ‘where have you been?’」

媽媽的語氣透露的潛臺詞是：

”don’t give me ‘with the girls’—that won’t work.”【別來「跟女孩們練習」這套──這不管用。】

況且，這套「約會服，」跟家倫哈得要死的發型，無法用爛藉口來糊弄。

總不能說「剛剛送到樓下的時候，家倫還依依不捨看我上樓，遲遲不肯去公車站牌搭車。」

面對媽媽的審問，她不能打馬虎眼。

「i was doing my homework with mr. wu’s help—」

「poor pretense.」【爛藉口】

「you don’t put on that ‘dress’ while doing your homework with your homeroom teacher—」

「mother, you have taught me all the manners.

「if i am seeking mr. wu’s help, i have to show my gratitude.

「if i am to show my sincerest gratitude, i am to wear a formal dress, with a ‘basket containing a cake and a bottle of wine,’ on behalf of my mother, for helping her daughter to get good grades—these are the rules you taught me, mommy.」

【我如果代表馬麻，跟吳老師致謝，必須帶上束脩──「一竹籃的蛋糕，配一瓶紅酒。」】

她馬麻顯然沒聽出，可蓉剛剛偷渡《小紅帽》的情節，來支持自己的藉口。

眼看謊言沒被拆穿，可蓉更大膽地扯謊：

「i know you are always busy, you couldn’t make it by visiting him in person, so i took the liberty to thank him, representing you.

「he was the humblest teacher i have ever had.

「he said he was only doing his part; helping students to get better grades is his duty, he said.
