The title of this blog means "Hidden foreigner." I'm a specialist in Japanese culture in search of the kitschy, the garish, the strange and occasionally the important.
Kid tiger:"My stomach's going muzu muzu (feels itchy)."Tiger Mom: "And when your stomach goes muzu muzu, what does it mean?"Kid tiger: "I gotta pee pee! Toilet!"
Kid tiger" "My butt's going muzu muzu"Tiger Dad: "And when it goes muzu muzu, what does it mean?"Kid tiger: "Doo doo! I gotta toilet!"
Tiger dad: "Wipe your butt"(smiling turds go down toilet)Kid Tiger: "Bye bye doo doo!"Kid Tiger: Daddy, I did a doo doo.Tiger Dad: You did a good job. So from today, you can wear underwear! (Instead of diapers).
At the pediatrician's office, he asked if my kids knew what "shi-shi" was...he said they used it in Hawaii as slang. My mom, who was from Japan, used that too...but had also spent time in Hawaii. I wondered if she had picked it up from Hawaii or from Japan. The doc said he thought it was used only in Hawaii. So of course I had to Google it to see who was right about what. Thanks for the cartoon!
