某天，
有位学生送了我一个葫芦灯。
说是他的家长买的。
放学后，
我就一路把这个灯抱到了车上。
结果娃儿一看到，
立刻问：
“你这个梨子是哪里来的？”
……
我：
“这是学生送的灯！”
“是梨子吗？
我还以为是葫芦！
你知道葫芦吗？”
娃儿：
“是不是一种瓜？”
我：
“是的！”
……
吃过晚饭后，
我刚好从那个灯旁边走过。
结果娃儿突然冒出一句：
“这个灯一看就很 wise！”
我仔细一瞧，
忍不住说：
“好像还真的是。”
……
我突然想起：
送灯的那个家长，
之前的大儿子去了哈佛，
现在小儿子也特别聪明。
家长居然还特地送灯感谢老师。
整个事情突然莫名有一种：
“智慧家族送来的智慧灯”的感觉。
……
结果娃儿又突然补了一句：
“这个灯给人的感觉很 wise。”
我一开始还以为自己听错了。
于是赶紧问：
“你刚刚说的是哪个 wise？”
结果人家直接开始拼：
“W-I-S-E！”
我这才发现：
原来跟我以为的是同一个 wise。
于是我又忍不住问他：
“那你知道 wise 和 smart 的区别吗？”
结果娃儿特别认真地来了一句：
“Smart 的人也可能是坏人。
但是 wise 的人，
是很厉害的人！”
……
结果下一秒，
娃儿又突然说：
要给爸爸也看看。
于是我说：
“那你去叫爸爸过来看！”
接着，
娃儿果然跑去找爸爸了。
我心里突然又觉得：
此娃真的很有意思。
因为他每次看到什么好东西，
好像都不会忘记爸爸。
……
然后，
他又突然开始假装：
对着这个灯施法。
一副：
“正在吸收智慧能量，
让自己变得更 wise”的样子。
整个画面直接把我逗到哈哈大笑。
……
而且这几天，
他还故意让我说他“不聪明”。
然后每次都一副：
“没关系，
我还有 wise 灯”的样子。
默默跑去把电源插上，
继续对着灯施法。
一种百试不厌的感觉。

《Tingma’s Parenting Diary｜271. This Lamp Looks Very Wise》
By Pingting / May 23, 2026
One day,
a student gave me a gourd-shaped lamp.
He said his parents had bought it.
After school,
I carried the lamp all the way to the car.
The moment my son saw it,
he immediately asked:
“Where did you get this pear?”
…
I said:
“This is a lamp from my student!”
“A pear?
I thought it was a gourd!
Do you know what a gourd is?”
My son asked:
“Isn’t it some kind of melon?”
I replied:
“Yes!”
…
After dinner,
I happened to walk past the lamp.
Suddenly,
my son casually said:
“This lamp looks very wise.”
I took a closer look
and couldn’t help saying:
“…Honestly, it kind of does.”
…
Then I suddenly remembered:
the parent who gave me the lamp
had an older son who went to Harvard,
and now the younger son is also extremely smart.
And the parent even thoughtfully gave a gift to thank the teacher.
The whole thing suddenly gave off this strange feeling of:
“A wise lamp from a wise family.”
…
Then my son added again:
“This lamp gives people a very wise feeling.”
At first,
I thought I had heard him wrong.
So I quickly asked:
“Wait, which ‘wise’ did you just say?”
And immediately,
he started spelling it out:
“W-I-S-E!”
That’s when I realized:
it was exactly the same “wise” I thought he meant.
So I couldn’t help asking:
“Then do you know the difference between wise and smart?”
And my son answered very seriously:
“Smart people can still be bad people.
But wise people…
are really powerful people.”
…
Then the very next second,
my son suddenly said
he wanted to show the lamp to his dad too.
So I said:
“Then go call Dad over to look at it!”
And sure enough,
he immediately ran off to find him.
At that moment,
I suddenly thought again:
this child is really so interesting.
Because every time he sees something good,
he never seems to forget about his dad.
…
Then,
out of nowhere,
he suddenly started pretending
to cast spells on the lamp.
Like he was:
“absorbing wisdom energy
to become more wise himself.”
The whole scene had me laughing uncontrollably.
…
And these past few days,
he’s even been intentionally trying to make me call him “not smart.”
Then every single time,
he acts like:
“It’s okay.
I still have my wise lamp.”
Then quietly plugs the lamp back in,
continues casting spells at it,
and acts like it never gets old.
