drink like a fish
A guy hosted a dinner party for people from work, including his boss.All
during the sit-down dinner, the host's three-year-old girl stared at her
father's boss sitting across from her. The girl could hardly eat her food
for staring. The man checked his tie, felt his face for food, patted his
hair in place, but nothing stopped her from staring at him. He tried his
best to ignore her but, finally it was too much for him.He asked her,
"Why are you staring at me.?" Everyone at the table had noticed her
behaviour and the table went quiet for her response. The little girl
said, "My Daddy said you drink like a fish and I don't want to miss it!"

事,但这太难了。他忍不住问小女孩:“你为什么老盯着我看?”桌子上的每个人
都注意到了这事,安静地盼着她的回答。小女孩说:“爸爸说你象牛饮,我可不想
错过看到!”
