莫名其妙的親子對話

某天,基絲汀到一間中式餐廳吃飯,座位正正對著一個電視。剛剛播放無線電視的一套劇集。(廣告時間前,顯示那劇集原來叫『巴不得爸爸』)

【免責聲明】基絲汀在家沒中文電視,沒看過此劇集的全部劇情,因此沒充分資料作人物性格分析,只不過偶然看到此段情景,感到對白頗有趣而已。當時聲音也沒聽到,只是看字幕,對白大概如下:

『吃這個雞屁股啦』(爸爸)
『阿爸,你不知道我不喜歡吃雞屁股嗎?』(兒子)
『你不吃,我不吃,誰吃這雞屁股?』(爸爸)
『。。。。』(兒子)
『阿爸,年青時,很喜歡吃雞屁股….』拿出一對龍鳳手鐲…(父子繼續對話)

基絲汀看到播映的畫面,只有兩父子演這場戲。兩人在一飯台前對坐,台面擺滿餸菜,大大碟的,共有四/五碟之多…

心中很有疑問:
為甚麼台面那四/五碟餸菜中沒有兒子喜歡吃的嗎?如果有,為甚麼偏偏要挑那雞屁股給他吃呢?如果老爸喜歡吃雞屁股,為甚麼硬要一個不喜歡吃的人去吃?這些對白和場景,真令人大惑不解。

  1. Hi Christine

    I've seen the TVBA Show. The show is about a young man going back time to the "50's Hong Kong" meeting his Dad, his family and friends by an accident. The young man does not have a good relationship with his Dad as his Dad is always nice and give a lot to his friends. He finds out at the end that he is adopted and realises that his Dad is an unselfish man when he comes back to the "real time". It has changed how he respects his Dad and making sees things differently. At the end, his Granddad passes away and leave his Dad the pair of golden bangle as a wedding gift for his Dad. The young man's Dad is also adopted but he has been very kind to his Dad even though he knows it at the start. The young man's Dad doesn't marry because he has been waiting for his girlfriend who has gone overseas and concentrate on bringing up the young man.

    At the scene, the old man is very sad as his Dad has just passed away. He remembers that his Dad likes to eat chicken bum so he gives it to his son. I think that means he is trying to give the best to his son. (there is only one bum in a chick) However, both of them don't like chick's bum.

    As a parent, we always try to give what we think is the best for our children. For example, we might push our kids to swimming lesson but we don't even know how to swim. In fact, the kids just prefer to have fun playing backyard badminton with the parents. That leave us a question "are we giving the best to our kids?"

    I've just started the habit of browsing the food blog and really like your blog as I cook everyday for my family, too. Keep the good work and share food and thought with us unselfishly.

    Cheers

  2. To Veronica,
    Wow, you explained all the details and how the tv programme went. Thanks so much.

    The scene and the dialogue between the dad and son really got us thinking how we should bring up our kids. We sometimes push our kids too hard to do what we think it's good to them. I won't blame those parents who are doing so. But I just question if the way is right/working or not. It could be done in a way that is more flexible and be tailored-made to match with our kids' personality and interests.

    Thanks for your comments. Love you to come back and share again.

    Have a nice weekend.
