きのぼくはうそたんのいちごたべて。　おいしいよ！

Yesterday I devoured a pack of infants.

It started a few weeks back when I blogged about white babies.

Then on the day before today I after teaching at Usotan Elementary I had a craving for some sweets. I was considering stopping at Seico Mart to pick up some koala’s, but when I saw the toddlers for sale I knew I had to stop.

As I walked up to the stand the woman who was tilling the fields took off here gloves and came over to help me. Conversation started off about the weather, then like the minx many Japanese girls secretly are she asked

“nan-si mimaska?” – how old do I look?

I joked about how women’s ages are dangerous.

She didn’t find that funny.

Undeterred, I tried to figure out the most flattering guess. Couldn’t go too low, or then she’d think I was just being an ass. Couldn’t go too high or then I’d definitely be an ass. Looking her over, best choice seemed to be

“roku-ju si” – 60 years old.

“arigato” She said with smile, before selling me two packs of tykes that made me happy I passed on the koala sucklings.

after the feast.
