later, our little girl, Becky,1 our family．I wanted everybody to be healthy and happy．I worked
hard to see that they2 ．
As the kids grew older, I worried about headaches, throat infections and many other 3 childhood
illnesses．I didn't like it when the boys spent time 'warming the bench (板凳)' during Little League
football s．I worried about Becky when she4 the ball while playing softball．Before long, the
years were upon us．I stayed5 late t night waiting for the boys to return home．Many times
the6crossed my mind that I would call the police if they weren't home on time．_7_, they always
arrived home safe and sound 8I had to take such measures．
'Please don't ever call the police,' one of the boys said when I 9 him after a late arrival．The
day the boys moved away to college was a10 day indeed．I worried about their being able to take
care of themselves．Would they starve?
