jiji and daddy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one 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.
