Lynette: Here’s, uh, here’s what I pulled for Edie.I should warn you, most of the clothes in there aren’t that stylish.

Mrs. Huber: Oh don’t worry about it, Edie’s a beggar now, which means she can’t be a chooser. Of course we don’t have to add salt to the wound.

Lynette: Listen, I was just getting dinner ready.

Mrs. Huber: Say no more.I’ll get out of your hair.

Lynette: No, no.

Mrs. Huber: By the way, was that you I saw getting pulled over by a policeman?

Lynette: Yeah, the boys were acting up in the car, I couldn’t get them to sit down..

Mrs. Huber: Young boys can be so willful.

Lynette: I try everything. I scream, I threaten, I reason, I beg, nothing works. I don’t know if it’s because they’re too young and they don’t understand, or if they’re just getting some perverse joy out of testing me!

Mrs. Huber: My mother used to have the worst time with me in the car, so one time when I was acting up, she stopped and left me on the side of the road, and she drove off.

Lynette: You’re kidding.

Mrs. Huber: Oh, she came back immediately But I never misbehaved in the car again. You should try that.

Lynette: Mrs. Huber, I could never leave my kids by the side of the road.

Mrs. Huber: When it comes to discipline, sometimes you must be creative. My mother knew that. Smart lady. Of course she’sin a home now, and her mind has just turned to mush.

Lynette: Well, like I said, I should go back and get dinner ready.

Mrs. Huber: Oh right. Well. Goodbye.

Lynette: Goodbye.

短语句型：

1.I’ll get out of your hair我就不打扰你了

（out someone's hair相对应的短语是in someone's hair，表示“打扰或烦扰某人”，例如：She was constantly in my hair, overseeing everything I did. 她经常烦我，我做的每件事她都要过问。）

2.getting some perverse joy out of testing me以挑衅我取乐

（get …out of从…得到…当然如果是get joy out of的话就应该是以…取乐。再加上perverse的意思，我们就可以很容易理解到Lynette要表达的含义，孩子们就像在故意和她作对一样~）

3.You’re kidding.你在开玩笑吧

（也可以说是You must be kidding.口语中的常用表达，当你不相信别人说的话的时候就可以这样说。感觉很像咱们交谈的时候别人说了什么你说的“真的假的”或者“不是吧”例如：—“I haven’t slept for three days.” —“You are kidding,”）

4.When it comes to当提到…

（表示承接下文的连词，不管是在作文还是口语中都很实用。与as for，as to 类似，但是用法比它们更加灵活。No one matches him when it comes to swimming. 谈到游泳，没有人比得过他。）

5.in a home在养老院

（相当于in a care home.当老人年纪大了需要人照看是可能会被送到这种地方。）

6.turned to mush已经没有道理了

（我找到了这个短语的英文解释：turn/go to mush. if your brains, heart etc turn to mush, you cannot think clearly or sensibly。例如：If you watch too much TV, your brains will turn to mush.）
