I didn't realise what confusion would arise on such a regular basis from having someone come to stay with the name of Yu.
N says to me this morning as I drop him off at school,
"Mum, how come we are not doing anything for "you?"
I respond,
"What do you mean, doing anything for me?
He says, "no mum, for Yu!"
"Yes dear, what did you want to do for mummy"?
By now he is in a small rage of frustration.
"The Japanese boy!!!!!!!!!!"
Oh, the light dawns, or the penny drops on the consciousness of his deranged mother.
To think I might have learnt my lesson,
I asked M this evening who she was emailing, and she says "YU".
Perplexed I ask why she is emailing me.
"NO! YU!"
Ah fits of laughter. We really need to use a code or a nickname.
