孫が子牛の名前を覚えていて、牛舎に入るなり自分から呼んだ。教えた時は聞いていないように見えたので、少しうれしかった。妻に話したら、ずいぶんうれしそうだねと言われた。そこまでではないと答えたが、名前を間違えなかったことまで二度説明していたから、そうなのだろう。将来どうするかという話にはしたくない。ただ今、あの子がここを好きで来てくれるのがいい。帰る時に長靴を揃えて置いていった。次も来るつもりなのだと思って、そのままにしてある。小さな長靴で通り道が狭くなるほどでもない。息子の長靴も昔はあの場所にあったが、それを言うとまた話が長くなるので黙っていた。

Anak-anak sedang tertawa di meja makan dan saya ikut tertawa, padahal kalimat terakhirnya tidak terdengar jelas. Cucu saya bertanya apakah saya mengerti, lalu mengulang dengan suara keras sekali sampai semua orang menoleh. Maksudnya membantu, saya tahu, tapi saya jadi kesal dan bilang tidak usah teriak begitu. Sesudah itu mereka bicara lebih pelan, malah terasa seperti sedang menjaga orang sakit. Saya ingin ikut lucunya, bukan membuat satu meja berubah suasana. Akhirnya saya menyuruh mereka lanjut makan. Sampai piring dibereskan saya masih penasaran sebenarnya tadi yang lucu bagian mana.

Para el terreno que querríamos comprar, mi pareja mira primero cuánto lugar tendrían los perros y yo dónde pasaría el agua después de una lluvia fuerte. Hoy vimos uno barato y casi me convenció hasta que encontré, en las fotos, la marca de barro al pie del portón vecino. No prueba nada por sí sola: puede ser de una obra, pero conviene ir después de llover y no en el día lindo que ofrece el vendedor. Anoté esa pregunta y la del acceso, que figura como camino aunque no sé quién lo mantiene. Podemos seguir mirando sin señar todavía. Mi pareja ya ubicó la huerta; yo también, pero no le dije para que no pareciera que lo había comprado mentalmente.

spent most of the walk trying to hear a bird above the creek, which apparently means holding my head at an angle for twenty minutes without realizing it. when I finally looked straight ahead my neck felt weirdly tight on one side, and my mom would absolutely have something to say about that. the rest of me felt good though, especially after being folded over the workbench all afternoon. I could feel the cooler air inside my sleeves and the ground changing from pavement to softer dirt under my shoes. got home hungry enough to eat dinner before telling everyone what I heard (unprecedented, according to my sister).

Tenho uma tábua guardada há meses para fazer um banco da entrada. O meu marido quer costas altas, eu quero um banco que entre por baixo da janela, onde não atrapalhe a passagem. Ele desenhou num papel uma coisa que ocupa metade da casa e ainda pôs braços. Assim já é cadeira, disse eu. A madeira chega para o meu desenho, para o dele é preciso comprar mais, e a conversa ficou por aí. Hoje voltei a medir o espaço. Com umas costas baixas podia dar, mas não vou mostrar enquanto não souber se consigo tirar todas as peças desta tábua. Não é encomenda, não há pressa.

Meine Schwester hat beim Essen einen Schmäh über ihren Ex gemacht, so trocken, dass mir fast die Gabel runtergefallen ist. Wir haben beide gelacht, richtig blöd, und danach war sie noch eine Weile gut aufgelegt. Ich war erleichtert, hab aber aufgepasst, nicht gleich zu sagen, siehst, jetzt wird alles besser. Als sie damals bei uns am Sofa gewohnt hat, wollte ich manchmal einfach meinen ruhigen Abend zurück, obwohl es ihr schlecht ging. Daran musste ich kurz denken. Gestern wollte ich sie jedenfalls noch dabehalten, als sie schon die Jacke anhatte. Sie ist trotzdem gefahren, sie hatte was vor. Das hat mich eigentlich auch gefreut.

I removed my gele after getting home and sat with both hands against my head, just enjoying not having anything tight around it. Beautiful in the photographs, yes, but the relief when those pins come out! My youngest brought the mirror because she thought something had happened to my hair. Nothing happened except that I had been carrying Sunday on my head since morning. I washed my face and changed into a loose gown before answering any messages. The room was still warm, but air could reach my neck. Then I discovered I was hungry enough to eat before asking whether everybody else had eaten.

j'ai dansé en chaussettes dans ma chambre avec ma copine et on a fini à deux devant le miroir à ampoules à refaire un mouvement qu'on arrivait pas à faire mdr au salon je tiens debout toute la journée mais là dix minutes et j'avais trop chaud, la frange collée au front et le cœur qui tapait jusque dans le cou, ma mère a crié qu'on allait traverser le plafond alors on a essayé sans sauter, encore plus moche, après je me suis assise par terre et j'ai senti mes pieds refroidir, c'était trop bien de plus avoir les baskets, on a gardé la vidéo où on tombe presque, par contre ma tête rouge tomate ça restera entre nous

My brother asked if he could buy a small painting for his house and I gave him the family-discount speech before he had even finished describing where he wanted it. He said he wasn't asking for a favor. I felt pleased, then suspicious, then ashamed of being suspicious of the man who drove my entire life to art school in his trunk. He likes a picture with a face in it. He has a wall. This shouldn't require an inquiry into motive. I told him he could come and choose, and now I'm worried he'll pick the one I consider mediocre and I'll manage to spoil a perfectly decent afternoon by explaining why.

The Mom asked whether we should change the youngest's afternoon routine because she read something about children choosing their own rest times. I listened. I also remembered the last afternoon nobody rested and a sock being wrong was enough to upset the whole house. I don't think every new idea is foolish, but I want to know what problem we are fixing before we fix it. A child can choose a book. That does not mean a tired child knows why everything feels terrible. I have three little people to get through the afternoon, not a paragraph on a screen. We are talking about it again tomorrow when there is not a child pulling on either of us.
