妈妈试着教她的女儿捡脏衣服，但是女儿总是比她强
Kids are known for leaving dirty laundry trails in the house. But this mom from Port Townsend, Washington decided to point it back at the perpetrator.
众所周知，孩子们会在家里留下脏衣服留下的痕迹。但这位来自华盛顿汤森港的母亲决定将矛头指向“肇事者”。
When Xep Campbell discovered her daughter Kestrel’s, 10, dirty sock on the bathroom floor, she started “a sort of sociological experiment,” leaving it where it was abandoned.
当Xep Campbell在浴室地板上发现了她10岁女儿Kestrel 的脏袜子时，她开始了“一种社会学实验”，把它扔在了它被丢弃的地方。
That’s not an uncommon occurrence in their house and the mom would usually just pick it up and toss it in the laundry. For some reason, in this case, she thought it would be amusing to see how long it would last if she didn’t pick it up.
这在他们家里很常见，妈妈通常会把它捡起来扔进洗衣房。出于某种原因，在这种情况下，她觉得如果她不把它捡起来，看看这种情况能坚持多久会很有趣。
A week went by. Nothing. Campbell’s daughter still hadn’t picked up the sock. Realizing this could go on for a while, the mom developed a new idea: mimicking the type of label high-end art galleries use to present their pieces with, Xep put up the information for this piece as well, listing her daughter as the artist of the “mixed media” display, later sharing the picture on Facebook.
一个星期过去了。什么都没有变。她的女儿仍然没有捡起袜子。意识到这可能会继续一段时间,妈妈发明了一种新的理念:模仿高端画廊用来展示自己作品的标签，Xep也把这幅作品的信息贴了出来，把她的女儿列为“混合媒体”展览的艺术家，后来把照片分享到了Facebook上。
Kestrel, however, was not to be outdone.
然而，Kestrel并没有改变。
“Kestrel is a smart, gentle, kind, and friendly person,” Xep told Bored Panda, adding that she’s not that tidy
“Kestrel是一个聪明、温柔、善良、友好的人，”Xep告诉Bored Panda网站，并补充说她没有那么整洁
But the girl was not to be outdone
但女孩不甘示弱
And came up with the perfect response
然后想出了完美的回答
Soon, the exhibition expanded with a mysterious monolith, just like the one that appeared in Utah
很快，展览中出现了一个神秘的巨石，就像在犹他州出现的那个一样
More pieces of art were added
更多的艺术品被添加进来
And it became quite the event
这成了一件大事
“The animals meander and mingle around in different configurations as if they’re at an art opening now”
“动物们以不同的形态漫步并混在一起，就好像它们正在一场艺术开幕式上”
Many people have told the mom to use the momentum and publish a book or find another way to take advantage of the situation. After giving it some thought, however, Campbell realized she doesn’t really want any personal gain from the sudden Internet fame.
很多人告诉妈妈要利用这种势头，出版一本书或者找其他方法来利用这种情况。然而，经过一番思考后， 意识到她并不想从突然的网络名声中获得任何个人利益。
