We were gathered together, all ten of us, for our widowed mother's 80th birthday. The conversation was of early struggles, walking to work and saving 1 up in clothing clubs, when my elder sister said, "Of course, we were bound 2 to be poor because we were such a big family. Mom, why did you have so many children?"


Mother looked around at us all and said, "Well, where did you want to me to stop?"

妈妈看了我们一圈说:“那么,你想让我在哪儿停住呢?”
