「I know its Saturday but I can’t come out. I’m old and tired. 」(我知道今天是星期六,但我不能出來。我已經又老又累。)這句話,沒想到由這位7歲小女孩說出來。也許,大家對Ava Ryan有點印象吧。最近在社交網站,經常出現她一人分飾幾角的惹笑短片。但媽媽Katie坦言,女兒的「幽默感」,對家人的意義相當重大。
在Ava蹣跚學步時,媽媽Katie卻面臨生死離別。與她相差3年的妹妹Sarah,不幸患上腦麻痺及普瑞德威利症候群(PWS)。前者令她肌肉協調出現問題,無法行走;後者則涉及智力障礙,導致持續飢餓的遺傳疾病。因此,Sarah長期倒臥在病床上。直到Katie懷上Ava後,她成為了一家的「開心果」,更令妹妹的心情開朗起來。
在2011年,Sarah不幸地因疝氣引起的腸道破裂,最終休克致死。當時,Katie與父母終日以淚洗面。但女兒的幽默感,成功轉移了一家的視線。
Her take on the world is innocent, but also a little mature, and I think people relate to that in some strange way.
(譯:在她的世界,有點天真無邪,但又有點成熟,我想這與大家有種奇怪的相連吧。)
影片裡的每句說話,很多都是Ava的想法。看著她歇斯底里地「演出」,鬼馬好笑之餘,但又戳中了不少女生的心聲!以下這些金句,不但有種似曾相識,甚至有點共鳴?

When people say I wake up early and I go to sleep early.
What planet are you from?? I never want to go to that planet.
(譯:當有人說自己是早睡早起。究竟她們從什麼星球來??我才不要去那裡。)

I don’t believe in the gym. It’s just a whole bunch of sweaty humans, running around, listening to Despacito.
(譯:我從不相信健身,這只是一堆流著汗的人,跑來跑去,聽著Despacito(YouTube最高播放量MV)。 )

I don’t have a bad attitude. I’ll tell you what I do have though. A bad job.

I don’t follow rules. I follow dogs on social media.

看著她七情上面,毫不掩飾說出女生的掙扎與試煉時,確實「句句到肉」呢!這個年代的女生,總會為身材而懊惱;為工作而吞聲忍氣;為得到別人注視而想突出自己。但有沒否發現,過程中犧牲了不少狂野青春呢?Katie希望,女兒的影片能令你會心微笑外,更想女生知道,別逼自己當個完美無暇的人。
No one is perfect and we live in a world where we are constantly bombarded by perfection. Sometimes it feels good just realizing that you’re not perfect.
(譯:世上無人完美。當活在這個不斷追捧完美的年代時,有時你會意識到,不完美的感覺很好。)
