jiji and daddy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2010.03.18

Kenny' maternal grandparents, "Jiji" and "Kazu" are with us again. It's caused a bit of confusion.

Just as with previous visits, Kenny has trouble keeping the words "Jiji" (meaning grandpa) and "Daddy" apart. He addresses Mari's father and me with both words as the whim strikes him. I'm not sure how he can "remember to confuse us" when he doesn't see his grandpa for months at a time, but it's surfaced again.

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
