11 ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER RECORD

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER, RECORD The banana bread ran out quickly, but nobody left. Kids were digging and jumping and running around. The first-graders were spraying the hose into Bean's hole. The moms were standing in a circle, chatting. Bean found her dad sitting on the stairs. "Will you go get your camera?" she asked. "Please?" He put his arm around her. "Why?" "I think I'm breaking a record," Bean said. "Oh yeah? What record?" "Biggest playdate ever. Come on, go get the camera. You have to have proof." Bean gave him a shove. "Okay, okay." He got up and went

香蕉面包很快就吃完了，但是没有人离开。 孩子们在挖洞、跳、跑。 一年级学生正在往比恩的洞里喷软管。 妈妈们围成一圈站着聊天。 比恩发现她爸爸坐在楼梯上。 “你去拿你的相机好吗？”她问。 “好吗?”他搂着她。 “为什么?”“我想我打破了一项记录，”比恩说。 “哦,是吗?记录什么?”“史上最大的游戏约会。 快点，去把相机拿来。 你必须有证据。”比恩推了他一把。 “好了,好了。”他起身走了

inside. Ivy climbed the stairs and sat next to her. "I'm still bummed that they aren't dinosaur bones" she said., "Yeah" Bean said. She was still, bummed, too. She had really wanted to be the youngest paleontologist in the world. She looked out over the backyard full of kids. Maybe it wasn't going to be the biggest playdate in the world, either. She should probably have a backup. "I think I should try to break glass by screaming again. A wine glass. Not an animal." Ivy nodded. "A wine glass would be easier." "I'm going to do it. Tomorrow." Bean's dad came back out on the porch with the camera. "What are you going to do tomorrow?" he asked. Bean and Ivy smiled at each other.

在里面。艾薇爬上楼梯，坐在她旁边。 她说：“我还在为它们不是恐龙的骨头而难过。”“是的，”比恩说。 她仍然闷闷不乐。 她真的很想成为世界上最年轻的古生物学家。 她望着满是孩子的后院。 也许它也不会成为世界上最大的游戏约会。 她应该有个备用的。 “我想我应该再尖叫一次，试图打破玻璃。 一个酒杯。不是动物。” 艾薇点点头。“酒杯会更容易些。” “我要这么做。明天。” 比恩的爸爸拿着相机回到门廊上。 “你明天打算做什么？”他问。 比恩和艾薇相视一笑。

"Never mind" said Bean.,

“没关系，”比恩说。
