Is it alright if I tell a story about my Mother and Aunt in Japan, since I have never been there myself?
This story has been told to me countless times by my Mother and Aunt. and will continue to be told to me.
It was before I was born, ( 1980's) and my mother, father, Aunt Becky ( my mother's sister) and Uncle Peter stopped in Japan on there way back from Indonesia. ( where my Aunt and Uncle were living at the time.)
While my father and uncle were. . I don't know where? My mother and Aunt were in this resturant. at that time, my cousin, Alexis was a baby, and Aunt Becky wanted to warm up some milk for her. She was trying to explain to the waiter about what she wanted. Since she couldn't speak Japansese, and the poor fellow didn't understand very much English, she was trying to tell him that she wanted a pan to heat the bottle in. He brought her a small pan, and she said " No! it's too small." so she sent him back to get another pan. " No!" she said again. " it's not deep enough!" so he went back to the kitchen. " No! it's too big!" she said. this went on and on. Finally, the frustrated man threw down the pan and exclaimed:
" Prease reave!"
So you can see, my aunt was very popular.
I have a few more stories about my mother and aunt in Japan. My aunt would tell you over and over about her adventures in the Ginza, and the $20,000 dress. and the $10 coffee. but I won't bore you. Not that you HAVE to read this!
Thank you!
