宝宝就读的私立国际学校，每年学费十五万；在深圳，最贵的一年三十万。学生大多自然是有钱人家的，有些孩子身上不免沾染富家子弟的陋习。上课时间是八点半，我每天早上送宝宝去上学，眼看快到点了，却常见不少学生，依然慵懒的、慢吞吞的走着——仿佛迟到，也没啥事儿似的。还有一些个头与我差不多的中学生，男女拉着手，像情侣般悠悠的走着。

  从我家步行到学校，约七、八分钟。我每天八点准时叫宝宝起床（这个具体的时间，是宝宝自己定的），然后洗漱、吃饭。八点二十左右，准备出发，我会催促他，但宝宝依然慢吞吞的吃着。咱们老一辈的，做事比较踏实：自己上学时，学习肯定是第一位——没有特殊情况，决不会迟到。为此，我每天都会急吼吼的，对他吆喝着，好像上学是我的事。

  三月初的一个早晨，我又不断的催他：只剩最后几分钟了，他才离开家。这时，他自己也明白要迟到了，于是出了电梯，就像子弹头似的飞奔而去。我这个年近七旬的老人，也紧追其后，奔跑着。回家的路上，我想想有点后怕：如果跑得太急，宝宝与我，谁摔倒了，或身体出点状况，怎么办？宝宝是老美式的思维，非常独立，强迫命令，肯定行不通。必须想出能充分说服他的理由，来改变现状。

  一番思索后，我终于想出了对策。下午放学回来，我认真的与四年级的宝宝谈话：第一，你可以选择迟到，那样早上就不必那么着急了。第二，你准备去医院开刀：因为你刚吃饱饭，就急奔，很可能会得阑尾炎。第三，八点二十左右，我先下去，在楼下等你。任你什么时间下来，哪怕九点也可以：因为是你上学，不是姥姥上学。他边听，边闪动着黑幽幽的大眼睛，望着我。这样，我既讲清了道理，又非常民主的，让他自己去理解、作出选择，何去何从？这一着棋，果然奏效：现在每天八点二十，无需我再多费口舌，我与宝宝必然出发了。

  老人在子女家的生活，也不易呀！既要力所能及的帮助子女，又要保护好自己的身心健康。还要与儿孙辈，斗智斗勇、和睦相处。
