My toddler was falling asleep last night as his dad texted me “Do we need anything from the store?”
So I asked my son. “Do you need anything from the store?” He’s 2.
He replied “I need a widdle tiny lawn mower.” I relayed the message to his dad.
“He needs a widdle tiny lawn mower.”
45 min later, Dad walked into our bedroom and set down a kid’s lawn mower next to the bed.
One thing I especially liked about the Michael movie that pleasantly surprised me is that usually in Japan when watching a movie, the audience refrains from reacting too much to scenes.
However, during the concert scenes, I actually saw people around me dancing and cheering in their seat, which is so so rare to see among Japanese audiences.
Also, when the credits rolled, some Japanese fans even went to the front of the theater to start dancing to the music.
I have NEVER seen that ever before, not even for concert screenings in theaters here in Japan. It was quite an eye-opening moment that really drives home the movie’s message that music truly brings people together 🥹
@JoeEsjay@jewperfluous I feel like if it’s an immigrant white community then yeah…they likely use words differently but most white culture is pretty mainstream and when you live in the south you get used to them as well.
@jewperfluous@JoeEsjay Mostly used between black folk so that’s prolly why. Pookie is a common nickname in the hood and many black folk have roots there. You may also hear Ray Ray.
