Ojisan is visiting from Tokyo today. We have to tidy up the house in preparation. I made sure to do my part.
I was really happy to see Ojisan again, but I felt the need to play it cool and not let him know that. I was almost standoffish at times. But I think he knows me by now and gets that it is just how I am.
After picking him up from the airport we went straight to lunch. We ate quite a bit there. Then we headed home to hang out. Baaba came to visit to so I went with Daddy to pick her up.
We had fun just hanging out at home and before we knew it we only had a couple of hours before Ojisan had to go back to Tokyo. First I went with Daddy to drop Baaba off at the train station so that she could make it home in time to have dinner with Jiiji. I made sure to tell her to tell Jiiji that I missed him and wanted to see him soon.
Then we went back to the house and picked up Ojisan and Obachan and headed off to dinner. We picked a place near the airport.
It is always fun to socialize while eating, but I was taught at school not to talk with your mouth full so I was constantly stopping conversation until people were done chewing. I know that conversation is fun and important, but so is table manners.
It was a fun day with Ojisan. His visits are always interesting because I often react differently to him. We never know if I’m going to play it cool or welcome him warmly. That is just how our relationship is.
