PARENTING IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Life in the 21st century is generally easier than what our forebears had to deal with.

ACKCENTS EVERYWHERE !

 On my way home from work one day it started raining heavily and so I had to wait till the rain subsided.I took shelter in a building and standing beside me on the phone was a man giving someone directions and urging the person to wait for him.

Just writing this makes me want to laugh out loud.

I mean, the way they 'tease' you about when you'll invite them to wear aso-ebi, you just have to wonder if there's a market where you can go to purchase a man or a river to go husband fishing.
