My older daughter will take an entrance exam of a private high school the day after tomorrow, this Friday.
I : "Today is just one week before the exam~, isn't it?"
Daughter: "…? Oh, I didn't find it! I'm not nervous now."
I : "I can guess so. You have never felt it before, I'm sure. I'm wondering if I have the kid taking the test soon? "
Daughter: "(A big laughing)…Yes, yes, I've felt it, just a little nervous~"
I : "No, no, incredible! Who says that? It's you who have a real brave heart, so you have never done.」
She hadn't remembered when she would take the exam until just 2 weeks before.
She can't remember when the test for a public high school and her graduation ceremony will be neither, I wonder.
However, she must have made a promise with her friend.
"I will go shopping KitKat now." she said and left home today.
When my son looked at the KitKat she bought, he said "As a candidate for exam, she did something like this"
I told her to cook TONTEKI and TONKATSU for the tomorrow's dinner for her, and then she was very glad to hear that.
I'm a little doubtful whether she could understand the meaning of what I said...
She is glad just because she will eat a lot of meat...??
We say that KitKat, TONTEKI and TONKATSU would bring good fortune and luck to people taking a test in Japan.
KitKat : " Surely win"
Tonteki ( Roasted Pork ) : "Enemies"
Tonkatsu ( Deep-fried Pork ) : "Win"
I'll talk about the meaning tomorrow.
