I love you, I won't kill you

Grace, who is the wife of a U.S. senator, is standing happily with her daughter on the square in front of the Lincoln Memorial.Because today is the weekend, there are a lot of tourists here.

With the Lincoln Memorial surrounded by 36 white marble columns in the style of the Greek Parthenon, the clear and cloudy sky, and her grown-up daughter beside her, Grace is in a particularly good mood today.

Immediately, she discovered a small problem, and said to her little daughter tenderly, "Honey, today is the weekend. Why are you still wearing the uniform of the Marine Corps?"

When the owner of those sky-blue pupils looked at the reflecting pool in front of the Presidential Memorial Hall, he said softly, "I am a marine, ready to go to any place in the world that needs marines."

"Really? But you're still studying at the military academy at Quantico."

"Grace, I actually think this is my most confident side. Of course, my personal clothes and shoes are nothing but rubbish in front of a senator's wife."

"Oh, poor child! As your mother, I should be proud of you no matter what you look like."

Amanda glanced sideways at her mother, and said with a smile, "Okay, I just think I'm going to be a guest at your house today, and I don't want to dress too casually. Do you understand what I mean?"

Grace put her arms around her daughter's shoulders and stroked her black hair, "It doesn't matter. No matter how noble and high-society Washington's home is, it will always open the door for you."

"Okay, if you go on, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist jumping into that reflecting pool."

"Well, that's a good idea. Anyway, it's summer now, so I can just admire my sweetheart's figure."

"God! I'm really surprised, how did you give birth to me?" Amanda shook her head and walked towards a domestic tourist with a camera.

"Oh, you want to know how women have babies? You know, while your father and I were doing certain, unimaginably pleasurable movements in bed, your father put his..." Grace Walking and talking about the process of the birth of the child.

"Grace, shut up! Excuse me, can you take some pictures of the two of us?" While stopping her mother, Amanda turned to a ponytail, wearing shorts, a T-shirt and flip flops. The blond girl said with a smile.

"Cool!" The girl smiled slightly.

A few minutes later, Grace held the camera and admired the photo taken with her daughter, "Sweetheart, I think you are very beautiful in the photo, and you are very photogenic."

Amanda said indifferently, "Really? Do you want to send my photo to a Hollywood producer?"

Grace giggled regardless of her status, "Sweetheart, you are simply too smart. If you become a top Hollywood actress, I will be proud to walk on the red carpet at the Kodak Theater."

Amanda couldn't bear her mother's enthusiasm and rich imagination, so she had to say, "Now, I will continue to serve."

"Sweetheart, I'm so happy today! Well, I'll continue to be your tour guide like I did at Arlington Cemetery."

"Well, I hope you can do this part-time job well."

Grace and her daughter went all the way to the reflecting pool, pointed to the woods on the left and said, "Over there is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Women's Memorial."

Then, pointing to the woods on the right side of the reflecting pool, he said, "This is the Korean War (1950 Chinese War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea) Monument and the District of Columbia Battle Memorial."

Grace then said, acting like a mother of a teenage child, "The Korean War and the Battle of the District of Columbia, you know?"

And Amanda also replied like an underage girl, "Grace, starting from the most famous Burbury battle of the Marine Corps in 1801, I know all the domestic and foreign wars that the Marine Corps participated in."

Then, she said, "Of course, in the Battle of the District of Columbia in 1812, the United States was once captured by the British army, the capital District of Columbia. The British army also burned down the US Congress, the White House, and the Treasury Department. architecture."

....................

The two of them were walking on the sidewalk beside the reflection pool of the memorial hall, and Grace happily asked, "Sweetheart, tell me, why do you want to invite me to dinner today?"

With her hands behind her back, Amanda was admiring the 169-meter-high marble obelisk (Washington Monument) not far in front of her, "Well, tomorrow is your mother's day."

"Well, I know that. What else?"

"Oh, to say thank you. Thank you for being able to accept a third child from my ex-husband."

Grace believed her daughter's words, but she also knew that it was impossible for her daughter to approach her aimlessly.Nodded, "You're welcome! Well, there are only two of us now, can you tell me what you want to say?"

Amanda looked at her, paused for a few seconds and said, "At the Pensacola Naval Air Base, you once told me that all mothers in the world hope that their children can live happily and happily."

"That's right. Well, baby, do you have someone you like now?" Grace immediately became curious.

"Yeah. If I get my love and lover, am I still unhappy?"

"Unhappy?! That's impossible. Oh my God! Baby, did your lover cheat on you?"

"No! It's just...just...without you and my father's blessing, I...I..."

"Baby, speak slowly." Grace comforted intimately.

"Forget it, I don't want to say it." Amanda still couldn't summon up the courage.

Grace put her arms around her daughter and strolled to the incomparable, towering Washington Monument, "It's okay, baby. We will have many opportunities to chat, drink tea or walk around the national lawn scenic area like this in the future .”

"Let's go, I'll take you to the elevator inside the Washington Monument." Then, he pointed to the monument and said.

"Elevator? Can you go to the top of the monument just by taking the elevator?" Amanda asked.

"Of course. Well, you can also run up the 50-story iron ladder and 897 steps in circles. Come on, the elevator here is a high-speed elevator."

"Hmm, high-speed elevator!?"

What surprised Amanda was that the elevator inside the monument was really running at high speed.After getting into the elevator, they reached the top of the monument from the bottom of the monument in just 70 seconds.

Standing in front of two of the eight viewing windows on the top of the monument, you can look at the large lawn surrounded by green grass.Also, the Lincoln Memorial and the U.S. Capitol are on the same axis as the monument.

"Baby, isn't the scenery here nice?" Grace said.

"Well, it's really great! From here, you can also see the whole city of Washington, Virginia, Maryland and the Potomac River. I have to admit that this is indeed the commanding height and the first landmark of Washington, DC." Amanda nodding.

After the two admired it for a while, Amanda suddenly said to herself, "Well, it's very good. It must be very exciting to jump from here wearing a flying squirrel suit!"

Grace glared at her daughter, "Sweetheart, what are you talking about? Jump from here? God, are you crazy?"

Amanda quickly explained, "Calm down, calm down, okay? I mean BASE jumping."

"What, BASE jumping? Honey, you... how did you come up with this crazy sport?"

"Well, before 911/[-]. Actually, I've always wanted to jump on the Twin Towers in New York and experience the feeling of flying freely in the air. You know, the Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the United States before they collapsed."

"So that's the case! Well, what you just said really scared me. So, what about now?" Grace couldn't use maternal love to criticize her daughter's innate adventurous spirit.

"Now, the Twin Towers have disappeared from this country forever. So, I can only go to the Sears Tower in Chicago to dance once." Amanda said very relaxed.
