Last week’s corrections

You’re at a toy store with your Japanese niece (or nephew). You want to let them know that they can pick out a toy, and you’ll buy it for them.

This prompt gives me flashbacks to when we took our niece and nephew to a Toys R’ Us in Jeju, South Korea.

As soon as his mom left him alone with us, our 3-year-old nephew pulled down his pants and started waving his penis around.

He thought it was very funny.

I was less concerned about how to say, “Hey, I’ll buy you any toy you want,” and more concerned with saying, “Dude, could you pull up your pants?” Too bad I spoke zero Korean.

Fun times.

Here’s Satoko…
