我永远也不会忘记那一天。那时候,我才8岁,在德克萨斯州的威奇他福尔斯市的一所小学上三年级。那天,我从学校带回家一张粘着些许花生油的请帖。“妈妈,我可不打算去,”我不屑地说:“她是我们班上新来的一个女孩,叫鲁思,伯尼斯和帕特他们也不打算去。她邀请了我们全班所有的36个同学!” I will never forget that day. At that time, I was 8 years old and was in the third grade at a primary school in Wichita Falls, Texas. That day, I took home an invitation from school for a peanut oil. “Mum, I’m not going to go,” I said dismissively: “She was a new girl in our class, Ruth, Bernice and Pat. They didn’t plan to go. She invited us to the class.” All 36 students!"
