故事 
  
今天看儿子作业的时候，看见有一道题是成语填空，其中一个是"三（）二（）"，根据儿子所学的知识，答案应该是"三心二意"。但儿子的答案是"三（室）二（厅）"。老师还挺幽默的，在旁边批注了一句：你们家三室二厅啊，还挺大的，有一百多平方米吧！

Today when I had a look at my son's homework, there was an item called "Fill in Blanks for Idioms". One of them was "三（）二（）" (Three () Two()). According to what my son had learnt, his answer should be "三心二意"（Be of three hearts and two minds）. But my son's answer was "三（室）二（厅）" ( Three bedrooms and two other rooms). His teacher was really humorous. He wrote a remark nearby, "Your family has '三（室）二（厅）' ( Three bedrooms and two other rooms). It's quite spacious then, and must be over 100 square meters!"
