At 2 a. m. Mrs. Culkin was convinced that she had heard a prowler in the living room. "Tiptoe downstairs," she told her husband. "Don't turn on the lights. Sneak up him before he knows what's happening."

Dutifully, Mr. Culkin put on his robe. Just as he reached the bedroom door, his wife added, "And when you come back, bring me a glass of milk."

半夜两点时，科尔肯太太确信自己听到客厅里有贼，就对丈夫说：“别开灯，轻手轻脚地下楼，悄悄地靠近他，别被他发觉。”

科尔肯先生义无反顾地披上外套，前去捉贼。刚走到卧室门口，他的妻子又加了一句：“回来的时候给我捎杯牛奶。”
