White Day
Ahhh... It's been a while since I've written anything. Probably because I haven't done anything worth reporting on. The past few weeks, I've been taking care of things that I've been neglecting: Eye doctor appointment, haircut, etc. Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment and next week I'll go to my spa. I'm gearing up for April! Which is turning into Kabuki month...
Anyway, today was White Day. A holiday we don't have back in the States. In short, V-day is for girls to give chocolate and White Day is for boys to give back. Since I didn't give anything on Valentines, I really didn't expect to get anything this year. But I'm reminiscing now, so I decided to share my cutest White Day stories.
I have these two kids in my class, Naoki and Hozumi, who have been friends for the longest time. Their moms are friends and even their younger siblings were at one point in class with each other. I secretly think that they will end up together in high school, but they are only 8 years old now. A little early for match-making, ne...
Well, on Friday after class, Naoki had left but came back with a cute floral wrapped box. It wasn't for me (::sad face::), so I hurried him over to Hozumi so he could give it to her. They were both blushing bright red! And of course, Nonohas (one of their classmates) had to comment "ooooh, they have a love love connection". I said that was enough from the peanut gallery. Suddenly, a red-faced Hozumi starts pointing at Nonoha screaming "Peanut Gallery! Peanut Gallery!" and Nonoha started jeering too. Naoki just ran away as quickly as possible. I did too, since I had to go teach my next class.
Moving on, this is my favorite White Day story. It happened last year with my absolutely favorite baby, Yuutaro (3 years old at the time) and his classmate Yuka (4 years old). For Valentines Day, Yuka had given Yuutaro these really cute Shinkansen chocolates and he was more than happy to receive. A month later, his mom gave him some Hello Kitty white chocolates to give to Yuka. Yuutaro looked at the candy and back at his mom. Then he said, "なんで？/Why?" with the saddest puppy eyes I've ever seen.
He then kept asking where was his chocolate and why did he have to share with this girl. This went on for 5 minutes and Yuutaro was on the verge of tears. Yuka was off in her own world while this was happening (she's kind of "special") and had no clue what was going on. Eventually, his mom dragged him off home. But until they turned the corner, I still heard him asking "why?".
Well, that's all I have to share today. I'm all settled for the night and am leisurely reading the last Harry Potter book. The first and only time I read it was when it came out. I was in a rush to get through it, but now I just want to enjoy it.
Good night!
