My son rolls about a lot in his sleep.
He kicked me again and again at last night.

He was crying when he had a dream.
I asked him about his dream in the morning.
He said his T-shirt got wet and he needed to change his clothes in his dream.

I thought "why did he need to cry?"

Children are sensitive.
Sometimes I can't imagine their world.
I wanna understand their world.

I understood my son hates to get wet his clothes.
He is only two years old.
He always fights ghosts and senior friends and dogs and so on.



私の息子は寝ぞうが悪い。
昨晩彼は私を何度も蹴った。

夢を見たので彼は泣いていた。
私は朝彼の夢について聞いてみた。
夢の中でTシャツが濡れて着替える必要があったんだと彼は言った。

なぜ泣く必要があった?と私は思った。

子供は敏感だ。
時々私は彼らの世界を想像できない。
私は彼らの世界を理解したいと思っている。

私は息子が服が濡れるのを憎んでいる事を理解した、
彼はまだ2歳。
彼はいつも亡霊や年上の友達や犬やその他いろいろと戦っているのだ。

The rainy season has set in.
The rainy season is 梅雨(tsuyu) in Japanese.
梅 is a Japanese apricot and 雨 is a rain.
When the rainy season has come, Japanese apricots bear fruit in Japan.

Yesterday I went to a national park near my house.
I saw hydrangeas.
They were very very beautiful.
The place looked like Heaven.





Japanese people love hydrangeas.
They don't like the rainy season, although they love hydrangeas that bloom during that season.

I wrote this message on Lang-8:


When many women get married and have children,they quit their jobs.

Japanese women are not given managerial posts.

It is difficult for women to continue a full-time job caring for a child.

Successful working women do not a have children.

Young Japanese women need to choose between a life without a child or a life without a job.


What do you think about it?

How about your country?


私のLang-8でのメッセージ:


多くの女性は結婚したり子供を持つときに、仕事を辞めます。
日本の女性は管理職を与えられていません。
女性にとって子育てしながらフルタイムの仕事をするのは難しいのです。
輝かしいキャリアウーマンは子供をもっていません。
日本の若い女性は、子供なしの人生か仕事なしの人生かを選ぶ必要があるのです。

あなたはこれについてどう思いますか?
あなたの国はどうですか?



My friend who is a young man wrote this message:


I believe that women can still become successful even though they have children but in order to become successful they need to rely on others when it comes to both work and childcare.

The job of caring for the child should be split between the husband, wife, and relatives.

Other options are also available such as nannies and child day cares.



I wrote this message:


I have the same idea as you.

Maybe men who have children need to choose between his children or his job, too.
The time that only women have a role of bringing up children is end.
I shouldn't take it so seriously.
Only keep going!


My impression:

He is so nice guy.

An American man encouraged me! I deeply appreciated him.

Japanese middle-aged men don't like kids.
When I was in a train with my son, a middle-aged man clucked his tongue.
When I was at a restaurant, another middle-aged man did it too.
It's so foolish.
They can't be generous to children.


Japanese people usually show respect to men who are older than their selves.

It's sad when men who are older than me can't have model personalities.


A young japanese mother said to me, "I dislike middle-aged men because they are so selfish."

When I got onto another train with her child, another middle-aged man clucked his tongue.


Do middle-aged men in your country like kids?



My friend who lives in Arizona wrote this message.

Every individual is different in the United States. Some do and some do not. In my state, Arizona, most people hate gays and love guns. (Not everyone though, I know a lot of people who do not)



I wrote this message.


I have not known that most people hate gays and love guns in Arizona.
If japanese middle-aged men see gays, they can't cluck their tangue because they fear gays.
Gays can make a complaint to them. Kids can't do it.
Japanese man is a timid person.


I thought that Everywhere many foolish people exist.


what do you think about it?



私はLang-8でこのメッセージを書きました。


日本の中年男性は子供が好きではありません。
私が息子と列車にいたとき、中年男性が舌打ちをしました。
私がレストランにいた時、他の中年男性もそうしました。
とても愚かです。
彼らは子供に寛大になれないのです。

日本人は普通、自身より年上の男性に敬意を表します。
年上のおじさんが模範的な人間性を持てないのは悲しいことです。

日本人の若いお母さんが私に言いました。「私中年のおじさんがきらい。だって彼らは自分勝手なんだもの。」

私が彼女の子供と列車に乗った時、中年のおじさんが舌打ちしました。

あなたの国のおじさんは子供が好きですか?

私のメッセージ:

アリゾナでは多くの人がゲイを憎んでいて、ガンを愛しているなんて知らなかったです。
もし日本のおじさんがゲイに会ったら、ゲイが恐いから舌打ちできないです。
ゲイは彼らに文句言える。子供はできないけど。
日本の男は小心者なの。


私は、どこにでも愚かな人は存在するのね、と思いました。

I started to read an e-book on my tablet.

It is very nice for me.

When I find the words that I don't understand, I can read a English-Japanese dictionary on my tablet.

It only takes one touch.

It is so easy!


The Kindle fire hd 8GB was very reasonable price.

It was 12000 yen.

This model is most cheapest.
In addition, it has nice functions for reading English e-books.

It is an efficient way for Japanese people to learn English.

This e-book is free on amazon.com.


The same title of audiobook is 300 yen on audible site.


I recommend an e-book "the complete of Sherlock Holmes".


This Kindle book is $1.96. It is about 200 yen.


It is so cheap!!


If you are a member of audible,you can get the same title of audio book on audible.


It is only about $7.


It is about 700 yen.


You can read e-book and listen to audio book on Kindle fire.


It is totally 900 yen.


Why not do you get the Kindle fire and Kindle books and audio books?


I got it.A Kindle fire HD.
I want to read e-books and listen to audio books.





This is cheap, but I am satisfied.

If you use audio books,tell me what titles you recommend. I have listened to only one title.
I am a biginner.


I wrote this message↑ on Lang-8. My friend recommended me Harry Potter.

Oh! I saw all films of him.


Today is a good day.Because I find a woman of my friend on Lang-8.

I love girl's talk.

Woman is rare on Lang-8.

I'm happy!


I started to listen to an audio book.
I could not understand it well.
I want to try a function of whispersync for voice on Audible.
But it needs Kindle App for Android, Kindle Fire HD,
Kindle Fire HDX, and Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" or other tablets.
A tablet is better than a cellphone.Because the screen is a suitable size.
Which is better,Apple or Kindle?
This problem annoys me.


I made a rucksack for my son.

He love SNOOPY very much.





So, I made a little SNOOPY mark that made of beads.





It took two days, but I had an enjoyable time.
My son said "thank you" to me.
