Whenever I see banana pudding on a menu, I think of a special moment in my life when I learned an important lesson about envy (嫉妒) and love.
It happened when Suzy came to visit me after her father married (娶) me.
I liked the kid. Of course, as her stepmother (继母), I wanted to win her. She seemed to like me, but I wasn't sure, especially (尤其) at mealtime. She enjoyed watching me prepare the evening meal very much.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Making potato salad," I replied.
My answers did not seem to please her. She shook (摇) her head disappointedly. "My mama doesn't make it that way," she said.
Unluckily, her father believed that children should eat everything on their plate, including a dish that I made in a different way from her mama did. At the table, Suzy cried and shouted, "Mama doesn't make it that way." By this time, I got to dislike both her mother and her way of cooking.
Then, I found a dish her mother didn't make, but the kid liked. That is banana pudding. She helped me in the kitchen. It was a time of sharing happiness and laughter.
On the last night before she went back home, we made the banana pudding again. Suddenly, I knew that when Suzy got back home, her mother would hear a lot about "Karen doesn't do it that way". I thought her mama must know I loved her child. Mothers all use one important ingredient (原料) in their cooking, the best one—love.
(
A. Because she didn't like the stepchild.

每当我在菜单上看到香蕉布丁时，我就会想起我生命中的一个特殊时刻，那时我学到了关于嫉妒和爱的重要一课。
这件事发生在苏西的父亲娶了我之后，她来看我的时候。
我喜欢这个孩子。当然，作为她的继母，我想要赢得她的喜爱。她似乎喜欢我，但我不确定，尤其是在吃饭的时候。她非常喜欢看我准备晚餐。
“你在做什么？”她问。
“做土豆沙拉。”我回答。
我的回答似乎没有让她满意。她失望地摇了摇头。“我妈妈不是那样做的。”她说。
不幸的是，她的父亲认为孩子们应该吃掉盘子里的所有东西，包括一道我做的和她妈妈做法不同的菜。在餐桌上，苏西又哭又喊：“妈妈不是那样做的。”这时，我开始不喜欢她的妈妈和她妈妈的烹饪方式了。
然后，我发现了一道她妈妈不做但孩子喜欢的菜。那就是香蕉布丁。她在厨房里帮我。那是一段分享快乐和欢笑的时光。
在她回家的前一晚，我们又做了香蕉布丁。突然，我知道当苏西回到家时，她的妈妈会听到很多“凯伦不是那样做的”这样的话。我想她的妈妈一定知道我爱她的孩子。妈妈们在烹饪时都会使用一种重要的原料，最好的那种——爱。
