有一個男人, 為了參加第二天的小學同學會，特地上街, 買一條新長褲。

A man bought a new pair of trousers for his primary school mates’ reunion dinner. When he tried out at home, he found that the trousers were too long by 10cm.
( k& i7 |5 t  C他回家穿上後，卻發覺長度多了十公分。於是請求媽媽替他改。
媽媽說，身體不舒服，想早一點休息,今晚不想改。

& [! {/ {" K6 t4 l; e- Y/ b- F7 rHe asked his mother to help him shorten the pants. His mother said she could not do it as she was not feeling well and would like to rest early.

於是, 改請求女兒替他改。女兒說，今晚跟男朋友約好去跳舞，沒有時間改。

他想想，既然如此，明天穿舊的長褲去同學會也可以！

當天晚上，他媽媽心想：「兒子平時對我很孝順，他開口要求總不好拒絕他。」於是，起來替兒子改長褲，剪短了十公分。

Then his wife finished her work and thought," My husband knows I am always very busy and seldom asked me to help him. I would oblige him today." So she shortened the man ' s pants by another 10cm.  
他女兒晚上回來： 「爸爸不阻止我去跳舞，實在是開明的老爸，今天實在應該替他修改長褲。」於是替爸爸改長褲，剪短了十公分。  

His daughter came home from dancing, and thought, "Papa loves me very much and when I declined to shorten his pants, he was not angry at all! I would help him to shorten his pants." So she shortened her daddy ' s pants yet another 10cm.
第二天早上，三個女人分別告訴男主人此事。他一試長褲，已經變成七分褲了。

我的媽媽、太太、和女兒對我多好。」

He laughed heartily, and said, "I must wear this pair of pants to show my schoolmates that my mum, my wife and my daughter are such loving people."
結果，老同學們一致稱讚他家庭經營成功。
他的媽媽、太太、和女兒也都很高興。

「哈哈一笑」抑或「破口大罵」？

Many of us have "High EQ" when dealing with people outside the family, "Low EQ" when dealing with our own family members!  This is not an exaggeration at all.
