I spend half of my life with my mother and the other half with my father. My father lives with a twenty-pound cat named Tofu. He calls me his favorite daughter. I am an only child.
My father’s apartment is quite different from any other person’s living space. Except for my room, there is no furniture. He doesn’t like sofas or any comfortable chairs, so he has only a drawing table, a desk and his bed.He spends a lot of time lying on the studio floor. That’s how he thinks, he says. Then he does yoga
He has a big kitchen, and on top of the refrigerator is an old clock he winds every week for good luck. The last time the clock stopped, my father’s car was towed(被*察拖走)and some other terrible things happened, so he has become very superstitious( 迷信的). When he goes out of town, he hires someone to feed Tofu and wind the clock so it won’t stop.
The one thing he has plenty of is house rules. You have to take off your shoes when you come in. He won’t allow anyone who wears a baseball cap into his house. He says only baseball players should wear baseball caps and only the catchers should wear them backward.Every time I go to stay his house, he makes up a new rule. “ House rule number 579, no television programs with laugh tracks!” he will say. But then he can never remember the numbers, so they change constantly.
The rule that he always enforces is the one that requires me to write a two-page essay anytime I want something. He didn’t speak English until he was sixteen, and he had a hard time learning to write it, so he wants me to become a good writer at an early age. This ritual (仪式) started when I asked him if I could have my ears pierced when I was nine. He said it was very cruel and told me I couldn’t do it until I was thirty-five. But I kept asking him, and he finally said that if I wrote an essay and I could persuade him in writing why I wanted holes in my ears, maybe he would say okay. I wrote my first essay for my father, and after one month of writing and rewriting, he finally gave me his permission.
