Give me a break!

Since it would be still a little difficult for him to make sentences and express what he thought, I helped writing my 6-year-old son's book report yesterday.

It was one of his homeworks during the summer vacation and he had not started to do them at all yet.

He already chose the book and finished reading it.

So I asked him what he felt about it and gave him some questions that if he were in the story what would he do?

I typed the things which he told me without any changes on my laptop and printed it.

He transcribed his writing into the manuscript paper.

It was his first time to write such long sentences by his hand, so he complained many times like "I am tired!".

When he finished writing the first page, I noticed that it was strange.

"Why will one line be insufficient than a copy?

I found that he skipped one line in the second paragraph.

I told him,

"I am afraid to say that,  you should write it again. I am going to help erase them."

Needless to say, he got mad and said,

"Give me a break! I don't want to do it again! I dislike doing homework!"

I had to wait until he would calm down.

He can do it in another day.

A dilemma on buying it now

My family visited a car dealer last Saturday to take the legal inspection of my husband's car and take a 6-month inspection of my car.

Both of us have to drive our own way going to the office everyday, that's why we need to have each of our car.

My car had some problem with it's windows.

After opening both the driver and the passenger side, there are times that it doesn't close.

So I told a staff about it and asked to find the reason.

While waiting, I found a nice red car among the display.

When I was trying to ride on it, the salesperson came to me and said,

"Why don't you try to drive it?"

He and I have a long relationship for more than 10 years because my father and sister are also his customer.

He knows about  us very well and he is the best salesperson as far as I know.

My husband and I had a drive test with that car.

He discussed to us the estimated calculation of the cost of the said car.

Finally, we decided to purchase the new car after a long considering.

I was hesitant at first whether I buy it or not because I was considering the price, but I think it's the right time for me to replace my old car which I have driven for 9 long years.

Furthermore, my car needed to fix its window buttons and we had to pay for it.


I was surprised that our children were playing without boring while we were talking for about 7 hours!

This is because various ideas are devised so that children do not get tired of the shop.

For example, the drinks are free and we can drink all we want.

Children can get snacks.

There is a little jungle-gym and slide in the store.

My children's favorite is a small car.

They can ride it inside the store.

They can watch anime on TV,  they can read comics, they can play with toys.

Thanks for them, we could have enough time to consider it.

The typhoon had gone

My 6-year-old son woke up at 6:15am yesterday morning.

It was rare because he always gets up at 7am.

I knew why he woke up early.

Because a big typhoon was approaching Japan.

If a storm warning is issued in our city, school would be closed.

I told him, "Fortunately, the storm warning has not been issued."

"Really? Oh no! I don't want to go to school today!"

Since he was taking it for granted that he would not have to go to school, he got mad.

I decided to leave him alone for a while.

After a while, he started drawing pictures ( he loves drawing very much ).

And he went to school as usual.


It is only children to be glad that a typhoon comes because they don't have to go to school if the storm warning is issued.

Especially my children have not experienced the threat of natural yet.

Fortunately, we have no damage by this typhoon.

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the people affected by this typhoon.

The summer gift which I am glad to get

We recieved a summer gift from my brother-in-law 2 days ago.

It was an assortment of peaches!

They are packed carefully because they are easy to be damaged.

I like fruits very much but I rarely buy a peach because it is expensive.

I was very glad to get them.

Since we live near a grape-producing area, we send them to him and other relatives every summer.

If they are glad, we will be also glad.

My 6-year-old son's masterpiece vol.2

My 6-year-old son's elementary school will enter the summer vacation from this Saturday.

He brought his work which he made in the art class from school yesterday.

How colorful!

I was impressed his work and I thought that’s just like him.

It was made of color paper clay.

The theme was "My favorite food".

He made sushi ( he likes egg and tuna), ramen, fried shrimp, decorated cake, and whipping cream.

He likes making something and drawing pictures very much.

Actually, he was looking forward to the art class, and he practised making this before the class.

One of the teacher of the children's house where he stays after school every day told me that he always concentrates on drawing pictures though the other children are quarreling near him.

I think it is good for him that he has something he can be crazy about.

I hope he will be enjoying his favorite things from now on.

My grandma's favorite recipe

When I visited my parents house with my children last Sunday, my mother gave me boiled whitebait(little white fishes in the photo below) that which were given by someone to them as a summer gift.

Since they go bad quickly, I made two dishes using them.

The dish on the right side is seasoned cucumber mixed with whitebait and dressed with vinegar and soy sauce.

The other one on the left side is seasoned grated radish and with boiled whitebait dressed with vinegar, sugar and soy sauce.

Seasoned grated radish is my grandma's favorite recipe.

Since I like her very much, I used to visit her house and take her to go shopping, lunch, and so on.

When I visited her house, she used to eat it.

It is suitable for summer because vinegar is used and it tastes plain and light.

I also like it very much.

She passed away when she was ninety-six years old.

I somehow felt nostalgic when I eat this kind of dish.

A tiny dinosaur

My 6-year-old son loves animals and insects.

"I did it! Mom! I caught a lizard! How cute!"

....It  looked like a tiny dinosaur and it will never be cute for me.

After that, it run away from his hand and he could never find it any more.

He became in very bad mood, so I told him "I am sorry for you, but you will be able to find it again someday!"

I was really relieved that it run away from him.
Because he would tell me that he would want to raise it at home.

No way!

Summer is a season that likes to tease me because my son's favorite insects come out.
