::takes daft one’s car to be inspected::
Daft one (calls on cell phone): How’s the car?
BW: Almost done, but babe, they need to replace the muffler. It’s all banged up and loose, like you backed into something, or someone backed into you…
Daft one: Oh, yeah. I backed into something.
BW:
This is why I love our mechanic, who takes the daft one in stride.
If I keep watching these anime things, I’m going to learn selected bits of Japanese by exposure, but everything I learn will just make me sound like some Japanese version of Papa Lazarou. i.e. “You’re mine now.” “You belong to me.” “It’s quite swollen.” “Don’t worry… I’ll enjoy myself.” “That’s a nice moan you have.” All I need do is learn how to say: “You’re my wife now, Dave!” and “Where’s the toilet?” and the transformation will be complete.
