I was in the Deli buying groceries when I saw a tiny old woman pushing a shopping cart. In one of her hands she held a grocery list, and I couldn’t help seeing that there was a lot in that list. She looked so helpless, frail and alone. As she got close to me, I ventured to take a look in the woman’s cart.
There was nothing in it except a sixpack of Asahi Beer.
Yuko, my mother.
Original conversation in Japanese
Your mom’s life sounds infinitely more interesting than mine :))
I do not know how to feel about this quote O.o On one hand, why does she look helpless, frail and alone? But then there’s beer.. O.o So.. what does that mean? :))
Your life is like an anime to me. :))
It’s my mom’s life, really. lol
