Too Smart for Dad 青出于蓝

Too Smart for Dad

Young man, said the angry father from the head of stairs, didn't I hear the clock strike four when you brought my daughter in?

You did, admitted the boyfriend, it was going to strike eleven, but I grabbed¹ it and held the gong so it wouldn't disturb you.

The father muttered², Wonder why I didn't think of that one in my courting days!

青出于蓝

小伙子，父亲在楼梯口板着脸说道，闹钟敲了四下，你才把我女儿带回来，我没听错吧？

是的，男孩承认说，闹钟本来是要敲11下，但我拽住了钟摆，以免影响您。

父亲低咕道：奇怪，我谈恋爱时怎么没想到这一着呢！
