  We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I d know better.
  I’d really like them know about hand-me-down clothes and home-made ice cream and leftover meatloaf. I really would.
  My grandson, I hope you learn humility by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking.
  I hope you learn to make your bed and mow the lawn and wash the car, and I hope nobody gives you a brand-new car when you are sixteen.
  It will be good if at least one time you can see a baby calf born, and you have a good friend to be with you if you ever have to put your old dog to sleep.
  I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.
  I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it is all right to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he’s scared, I hope you’ll let him.
  And when you want to see a Disney movie and your kid brother wants to tag along, I hope you take him.
  I hope you have to walk uphill with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.
  I hope you get razzed by friends when you have your first crush on a girl, and that when you talk back to your mother you learn what Ivory soap tastes like.
  May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on the stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
  I hope you get sick when someone blows smoke in your face. I don t care if you try beer once, but I hope you won t like it.
  I hope you make time to sit on a porch with your grandpa or go fishing with your uncle.
    These things I wish for you-tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness.
  我们竭尽全力想让我们的孩子们过得更好,而结果却适得其反。对我的孙辈们,我就明智得多了。
  我真的希望他们能够了解什么是兄长传下来的旧衣服,家制的冰淇淋,以及吃剩的肉糕。我真的希望。
  我的孙子,我希望你在经受失败的考验之后能学会谦卑,也希望你在即使在没有人注视你的时候也能学会诚实。
  我希望你能学会自己叠被子,自己整理草坪,自己洗车,我还希望在你满十六岁时没有人送给你一辆崭新的轿车。
  假如你至少有一次机会看见小牛犊出生,假如你不得不为你的老狗送终,那时有一位好朋友在场为你作伴--那样该有多好啊!
  我希望你能为自己的所信仰与人斗得眼青脸肿。
  我希望你能和你弟弟共一间卧室-即使你在卧室中间划一条分界线也没关系。可是,当弟弟因为害怕而要爬进你的被窝时,我希望你会接纳他。
  当你要出去看迪斯尼电影,你的小弟弟想和你一起去时,我希望你能带上他。
  我希望你能和朋友们一起爬山,而在你所生活的城市里做这项运动是不会有什么危险的。
  当你第一次喜欢上一个女孩时,我希望你会受到朋友们的嘲弄;而当你跟你母亲顶嘴时,希望她叫你尝一尝象牙肥皂的滋味。
  但愿你能在爬山时弄破膝盖上的皮,或者在炉子上烧伤手,或者让舌头粘在结冰的旗杆上。
  我希望吸烟者对着你的脸上喷吐烟雾时,你会感到恶心。如果你尝试喝一次啤酒,我不会在意;但是我希望你不会喜欢上它。
  我希望你能抽时间来陪你爷爷在门廊上坐一坐,或者陪你叔叔钓钓鱼。
  我希望你能经历艰难的岁月,挫折和失望;希望你努力工作,幸福快乐。
