The story of “Making Pancakes” reminds me of Mother’s Day in Georgia in 1970. That 26 , my family and I were at the Church 27 for the preacher (牧师)to begin when I looked around noticing our 12-year-old son was 28 . My wife and I looked at each other with 29 eyes, thinking he was  30  outside playing with his friends.

Thirty minutes later the preacher was well into his sermon (布道) and  31  no son .Since we only  32  about a block from the Church , all through the sermon I was 33  he had gone home to watch television .  34  the preacher finished his sermon , my wife and I rushed for the door .  With 35  building with every step I took toward the house , I 36 what I would say and what I would do as soon as we found him.

With all that tension and anxiety 37  , can you imagine our surprise when we walked into the house and found him sitting on the sofa waiting for us with a(an) 38  ? I was just about to let it all 39 , when without saying a word he stood,  took his mother by the hand, and  40  her into the kitchen.
