Sunday with Okaasan.

Okaasan took me, with her friend, to Hirakatashi's once a month flea market. I didn't buy anything big, but we sampled a lot of food. Okaasa was mean on Sunday though. Here's how it went down:

We were walking along the stalls and she went off to buy something and get free samples. I went to the handmade jewelry shop to look around. She came back with a spoon full of something I didn't recognize. I had been chatting with the shop owner as best I could up until that point. (Basically she asked if I was a college student, and I replied yes, I go to Kansai Gaidai, I'm here with my host mother). Okaasan stuck the spoon out for me to eat it. I asked her what it was but she insisted I just eat it. I should have been suspicious when the shop owners started giggling at us. I ate it. It was Natto wrapped in a brown lettuce thing. Then Okaasan asked Is it delicous? I said, in a very loud voice, NO IT IS NOT DELICOUS. Then the shop owners laughed at me more.
