I grew up to be an OBATARIAN !
One day, my friend and I went to a restaurant to eat lunch. There we ordered the same menu,'ButaDon(a bowl of rice topped with pork)'. Before long, a waitress brought us two 'ButaDon's. I compared them, and found the slices of pork on my bowl were fewer than those of my friend's. I could see rice between pieces of meat on my bowl. I called the waitress back immediately, and said, 'These porks are much fewer than those ones, aren't they?' After a short pause of upset, she said, '....you mean you want us to add more pork to your bowl?' I stared her and replied, 'Yes, of course. Don't you see them? These are fewer than those, apparently.' She said,'Just a moment, please', and went into a kitchen with my bowl in order to consult with her boss.
Five minutes passed, and she came back at last with full of slices of pork on my bowl. 'Is it all right?' 'Oh, its okay.' I nodded and ate it.
If it was ten years ago, I would never say such a thing. I was more sensible person then. As I grew older, I became too bold. Now I am like an 'OBATARIAN'. Do you remember 'obatarian'? Many years ago, we used this word to stand for shameless, impudent women.
I thought I wouldn't be such a person at that time, but the fact is...
Oh, the hatred of foods is terrible!!
I won't order the same menu as my friends', not to show my true charactor.
Hi!! Mikarinrin!!!

Hi Yassy,
ReplyDeleteAre you really an obatarian? I don't think so -- you are too young for that category! But like Mika, I laughed when I read your story. You can express your ideas so well in English, and your stories and pictures are always interesting for others to read and enjoy.
I am sorry for not checking my students' blogs for so long. I just noticed that you, Toshinari, and Sachiyo have been posting comments fairly regularly, even after the class ended. I am a lucky teacher to have such hard-working, motivated students!
Hope you had a good summer vacation,
Bob
Hi! Bob!! How have you been?
ReplyDeleteRecently I am so busy that I cannot update my blog constantly.
But I like blogging in English, so I would like to keep my blog.
Thank you!
