Ifollowed,attemptingtointercept(拦截)himbeforehereachedthehallway.

Heapproachedthefrontdeskandknockedoverallthepapersonthetable.”（他在房间里跑来跑去，摸遍了他能摸到的一切东西。我跟在后面，试图在他到达走廊之前拦住他。他走到前台，打翻了桌上所有的文件。）以及最后一句“Isensedeyeswatchingme,judgingmyparentingskills.”（我感觉到有眼睛盯着我，评判这我的育儿技能。）作者的儿子在房间里不懂规矩，来回跑动，并且破坏了房间的整洁，其他的人则似乎在评价作者的育儿方式
