A few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew well, rushed up to me. She was full of 41 .
“Do you know 42 you and I are?” she asked. 43 I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. The woman 44 desk asked her what her “occupation” was. Emily hesitated, 45 how to answer it. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “do you have a job, or are you just a ...?”“Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a (an) 46 .”“We don’t 47 ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” she said.
I forgot all about her story 48 one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman.
“And what is your occupation?” she asked. What 49 me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ... a (an) 50 in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk stopped, her ball-point pen 51 in mid-air. She looked up 52 she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your 53 ?” Coolly, I heard myself 54 , “I have a continuing program of research in the
laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have 55 credits (令人增光的人或事物) (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). The job is more challenging than most jobs and the 56 are in satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of 57 in the clerk’s voice as she 58 in the form. As I drove into our driveway(私家车道), I was 59 by my lab assistants — ages 13, 7, and 3. Inside the house I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program.
I felt successful. Motherhood...what a great 60 .
