in 2006:
- ME: Did you wear a kimono?
- HER: No. The last time I wore my kimono was 21 years ago.
- ME: Okay.
- HER: Maybe Erika will wear it on Coming of Age day (成人式).
- ME: Okay, the answer to this has got to be yes, did you go to kabuki?
- HER: No. But I did go to Kabuki for kids two years ago. I have never been to real Kabuki.
- ME: How was it?
- HER: They explained how everything worked in Kabuki. Since it is not in modern day Japanese, you need to know the story before hand. Nicole, Erika, and myself fell asleep once it started.
- ME: Sounds like opera.
- HER: Exactly.
- ME: Did you walk three step behind your husband?
- HER: NO.
- ME: 三つ指? (Bowing while pressing three fingers of each hand on floor as a greeting to your husband)?
- HER: NEVER in my life.
- ME: Tea Ceremony?
- HER: No.
- ME: You are not doing very well. Are you really Japanese?
- HER: I think so. I thought so…….
- ME: Eat fish everyday?
- HER: I like Sushi, Mochi, Natto, Japanese tea……食べ物ばっかり。(Food. Food. Food.) I own a Kimono even though I worn it only once. My sister borrowed it from me. ねっ、りっぱな日本人でしょ。(See, I am a great and wonderful Japanese person, right?)
- ME: LOL!
- HER: Do I look French?!
- ME: No, you look very Japanese to me.
- HER: I gotta go to the bathroom.
