"No" I   22    them in my mother-has-everything-under-control   23   , “Not the measuring stick．"

The measuring stick isn't a （an）  24    stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and dining room．Along the edge we've   25   each child's growth by making a mark   26   his or her height on every birthday．Over the ten years so many colored pens, pencils and markers were   27   that the door came to be   28   like an abstract-expressionist painting．

Names and dates show different hand- writing, and I can  29  by the script（手迹）who measured whom．An eight-year-old brother measured her three-year-old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother, my husband measured me．At parties, when this door   30    back and forth frequently, friends stop to   31   the names and dates．When we ask   32   they would like to be immortalized（永存的）, they usually   33   shyly and walked back right up into   34   ．
