　　A New Mum took her baby daughter to the supermarket for the first time. She dressed her in pink from head to toe. At the store, she placed her in the shopping cart and put her purchases around her.
　　At the checkout line a small boy and his mother were ahead of them. The child was crying and begging for some special treat. He wants some candy or gum and his mother won't let him have any, she thought.
　　Then she heard his mother's reply. "No!" she said, looking in her direction. "You may not have a baby sister today. That lady got the last one!"

　　一个年轻的妈妈头一回带着她的宝贝女儿到超市买东西，她把小宝贝从头到脚穿上粉红色的衣服。在商场，她把小女孩放在购物车里，把买来的东西都推在孩子周围。
　　在付款台前排队时，一个小男孩和他妈妈正好排在她们前面。那个小男孩在哭，看上去在向他妈要着什么东西，年轻的妈妈想，这个小孩一定是要糖果或是口香糖之类的玩意儿，而他妈妈又不给，所以才闹得这么厉害。
　　然而就在这个时候，她听到男孩的妈妈一边回答说，“不行，”一边往她的方向看过来，“你今天不能买一个小妹妹了，那位女士把最后一个买走了！”
