题目内容:
Yesterday,I overheard our 9-year-old son,Aaron,talking to his friend,Zach.
“Oh,God!”Zach began,looking in Aaron’s closet “Where are all your toys?”
“Oh,we are doing something called Simplicity plan,so I basically got rid of 80% of my stuff(物品). ”
“What? Did your mom and dad make you do this?”
“No, Idecided to do it because I wanted to.When I give away a lot of my things,I make room for family activities. I did it because I wanted to live differently and have less stuff in my life.”
“But still,why would you choose to get rid of most of your toys?”
“Part of the reason is that my parents were doing it with their stuff .And my mom talked to me about it and explained how they felt happier afterwards. And I thought maybe I really had spent a lot of my time in my room playing with toys instead of spending time with my parents and sister.”
“Seriously?”
“I feel proud because I am a person who has just what I need and not more. And I’m starting
new activities like writing how I feel,reading more,and spending more time doing housework around the house.”
“OK.Let me get this. You have fewer toys,more housework,and you feel happier?”
“Well, it’s not that the housework is fun ,But I do it with my parents. We talk and connect while we are doing it, so that is the fun.And we’ve been doing more activities together, like reading aloud at night.
