英語幽默精讀【69】Stunning Reply
My five-year-old son was not picking up his toys while I was preparing dinner as I had asked him. When I inquired why he wasn't doing his chores, he said that he didn't feel like it. Exasperated, I said, "Where would you be right now if I didn't feel like making dinner?"
He thought for a moment and then replied, " A restaurant?"
