A biRThdAy paRtY

Today is Chopper's, my roommate, birthday.

And then, my friends and I decide to make a little birthday party for him.

But we don't have present to give Chopper, and he doesn't come back the dormitory,yet.

So all of us worry about this party and Chopper.

After have a phone call, we know he goes to Taipei with his family and he will come back dormitory tonight.

And there is an only question, the present.

Finally, we decide to buy some foods and beers and have fun.

Although it is a very simple party, it still a happy and friendly party.

Bed-wetting

Some children, particularly boys, may wet their beds at night(a condition called nocturnal enuresis) up to their teenager years. For years, parents have tried everything from humiliation, restricting fluids, and waking children in tje middle of the night, to some sort of shock therapy, such as awakening with a loud cound when wetting occurs. Most of these methods have not worked. Usually the problem resolves by itself by the teenage years or earlier. In most cases, the childern are found to have immature development of the urinary tract, allergies, or such sound sleep habits that they are unable to awaken.
