Me: “I learned most of my Japanese through pop-culture. You know, things like Mr. Roboto.”<\/p>\n
She: “What is this Mr. Roboto?”<\/p>\n
Me: “It’s a song that goes Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto<\/i>…”<\/p>\n
SheB: “Wait! ‘Domo arigato’ means something?”<\/p>\n
Me & She: “Thank you very much.”<\/p>\n
SheB: “Oh, oh! I thought they were making up words.”<\/p>\n
Me: “No, sorry.”<\/p>\n
She: “So, this Mr. Roboto is a children’s song?”<\/p>\n
Me: “No, it’s a pop tune from the 80’s. For adults. Now, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…that was more for kids, but not entirely.”<\/p>\n
She: “Teenage Mutant..”<\/p>\n
Me: “Ninja Turtles, right. I learned how to say hello in Japanese from my nephew. He learned from the Turtles. Ohio!”<\/p>\n
SheB: “This is so sad.”<\/p>\n
She: “Yes.”<\/p>\n
Me: “No, what’s sad was I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
She: “What?”<\/p>\n
SheB: “Yeah, what was so bad about…wait, I’m not sure I want to know.”<\/p>\n
Me: “It was a song about masturbation.”<\/p>\n
SheB: “Really?! I never knew.”<\/p>\n
She: “Why? I don’t understand.”<\/p>\n
Me: “No one really does.”<\/p>\n
SheB: “You’re driving foreign relations into the ground here.”<\/p>\n
Me: “I’m not responsible for the 80’s.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
