JOKE:
As a new father, I quickly learned the true meaning of maternal instinct. Late one night, I was summoned to the hospital to attend to one of my patients. I quietly got up in the dark but tripped over a toy and crashed to the floor. As I lay there rubbing my sore leg, my wife slept on.
Then there was a faint cough from the nursery.Debra leaped out of bed, running past me down the hall to our babys room.
When she returned, she looked at me and said,"What on earth are you doing on the floor?"
译文：

突然，保育宣传来轻微的咳嗽声。戴博拉跃下床来，从我身边跑过，下了客厅到我们婴儿的房间。
她返回来时，看了看我说：“你究竟在地板上干什么？
