Midori walking home from school in the rain
When I was five years old, my family lived in Ormond Beach, Florida. My sister Sayoko was a year old and my sister Yuri had just been born. My elementary schoolyard was directly behind my backyard so it was a fairly easy walk back and forth to school. Since my mom had her hands full with Sayoko and Yuri, she couldn't come to the school and walk me home under an umbrella. On rainy days, my dear kindergarten teacher took pity on me and her ingenuity and kind act still makes my dad laugh at the memory. He said that he was home early (probably because it was raining and his workday was cut short) and saw one of the funniest things he'd ever seen. Coming toward the house through our backyard was a soggy, upside down, brown paper grocery bag with two little feet, a pair of eyes looking through a hole cut in the bag and little fingers holding the bag through the hole so it wouldn't get turned around. I wonder what the neighbors thought...

Even though I absolutely love the drawings on this site, I wish there was a real picture to go along with this story! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteHiro, I'm sure there's a statute of limitations to prevent you from being called up on Child abuse charges! But that sure is funny! (Note to Yuri: Don't leave the kids there even for a short time!)
