Rainy face / 下雨的臉


週六的植標館活動,來了一位令人印象深刻的陸配媽媽,和女兒們一起玩,也問了我們很多個人的問題。

媽媽:你沒有自己的小孩嗎?
我:沒有,所以來這裡和別人的孩子玩。
媽媽:我剛來的時候,整天在家裡帶孩子,邊帶邊哭。

媽媽說這話的時候,外面的雨下得好大,好像是她全身上下的寂寞,怎麼倒也倒不完。

On Saturday afternoon in the herbarium, a Chinese immigrant mom brings her daughters to the workshop, but she is more enthusiastic about the lesson. She also asks us many questions on the personal level. 

Mom: Do you have your own children? 
I: No, that's why I am here to play with others' kids. 
Mom: When I first came, I had to take care of the girls on my own. I cried all the time. 

When she says these words, it is raining hard outside. It feels like she can never cease discarding her soaking-wet loneliness...
