So it's not always easy being a father of teenage girls. But it is pretty good to live above the store.
所以说做十几岁女孩的父亲可不是一件容易的事情。但是每天和她们生活在一起是一件令人高兴的事。
Even with our jam-packed days, Michelle and I work hard to carve out certain blocks of family time that are sacrosanct. For example, at 6:30 p.m., no matter how busy I am, I leave work to go upstairs and have dinner with my family. That's inviolable. My staff knows that it pretty much takes a national emergency to keep me away from that dinner table. As a night owl, I'd rather stay up late reading briefings and working on speeches after everybody has gone to bed anyway.
即使在我们非常忙碌的日子里,我和米歇尔也会腾出“神圣不可侵犯的家庭时间。比如说,不管多忙,傍晚6时30分我都会准时上楼与家人共进晚餐,这段时间是“不可侵犯的。我的职员们都知道,几乎只有全国紧急事件才能让我离开晚餐餐桌。作为一个夜猫子,我宁愿在其他人都上床后熬夜看简报、准备演讲。
So for an hour or so at dinner, my focus is not on my day, but on theirs. I ask Sasha and Malia the usual annoying parental questions: How was school? What are your friends up to? Have you done your homework? What are you thinking about? In return, they spend a lot of time teasing me about my big ears or stodgy suits -- and Michelle is always happy to join them.
