So I had to go to India for work for awhile. I wasn't able to blog from there because I was so tired after work and depressed a little bit because I didn't have easy access to fantabulous non-indian food. On top of that, I was so hoping I'd run into a Bollywood type star and fall in love. That didn't happen. Now, I am back in Japan. I prefer Japanese food...Wow. Anyway, when I was grocery shopping (yes, I now grocery shop which I didn't because I have a man to fix dinner for but it's a long boring story so I will skip that detail) yesterday at this supermarket, I heard two kids chuckling and they came to me and asked "Is that white box on the top coffee?" and I said "Nope, that's creamer. What kind of coffee did you need?" They were 8 year old and 10 year old kids. Brothers. They told me they "secretly" came to the supermarket to pick up something for their mother on Mother's day. They looked so excited about buying a thing for their mother. They also asked "Do you think our mom would be happy if she got this?" And I smiled and said "Yes, but she'd be happy even if you got her a pocket tissue thingy. It's heart that counts." But I guess that was difficult for them to understand. I helped them get the coffee and they said "Thank you!" delightfully and ran away to the cashier. They were so adorable. I hope their mother was very happy today and should be proud of very well behaved considerate kids. It was one of the happiest moments to see this week. Yes, of course, I took my mother, grand mother, sister, and father to the traditional Japanese place for lunch today for Mother's day. A grown-up version of Mother's day costs a lot.... Anyway, happy brand new week! I hope i can blog more now.
