What kind of text did we hear? Part 1 Kid’s misunderstanding Part 2 Kid’s understanding Part 3 Mom’s love Mom Knows Best When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side. When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in. When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger. … … Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times. I coughed for days after eating that ice cream. And had scary dreams after watching that film. I was late for school from staying out past ten. I regret talking back, not listening to Mom. Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best! Mother is great. We should listen to her and follow her. Mom knows best. * * * Mom Knows Best Mom Knows Best tiny cry field hug lift badly awful teen regret poem adj. 极小的；微小的 vn. 哭；叫喊 n.田野；场地 n. v. 拥抱；搂抱 v.举起；抬高n.电梯；搭便车 adv.严重地；差；非常 adj.很坏的；讨厌的 n.
