Liz: Reina, what’s so funny?
Reina: I don’t know.
George: Yuu!
Liz: Yuu is funny?
George, Reina and Ryou: Yes!
At the same time Yuu yelled: No! Liz is funny!
Liz: I am funny?
Yuu: Yes.
Liz: Why am I funny?
Yuu: Face
Liz: I have a funny face?
Yuu: Yes. (and other children begin to laugh again)
Liz: What makes my face funny?
Yuu: Ears.
Liz: Ears?
Yuu: Yes. (more laughter)
Liz: I have funny ears, what makes my ears funny?
Yuu: Lion.
(Everyone laughs, I couldn’t help but join in)
Liz: I have lion ears?
Yuu: Yes
*Conversation ends*
I have lion ears? Who knew?
A little while later Reina looked at me and said "omoshiroi". I asked Kayko about it. She says the word in that situation is/could mean "You make me happy" or "I like being with you" or "Being with you is interesting/fun". It was an interesting noon hour.
Word Up: Omoshiroi –interesting, funny. The word has a positive connotation. Depending on the use it could mean "you make me happy" or "you make me laugh".

Yes, Liz, you are oesterizer.... or whatever that word was.... hrmmm ... oesterizer is a blender, not sure that you are a culinary appliance.
thanks for making me laugh out loud today, Liz!
it was even funnier at first because I jumped to the conversation (that's what caught my eye) before reading the introductory paragraph carefully--so they're saying "Yuu" is funny and I think they mean "YOU, Liz" are funny--and then in jumps another kid, "Yuu!"
Don't know why but that struck me as hilarious :) And then the picture of you as a lion--great.
I could become a culinary appliance. It might be fun to be a blender. Or maybe it could be a new cool dance. Look she's doing the oexterizer
Amy, Yuu makes teaching English interesting. Some times I say "Ryou will you please..." and Yuu does it thinking I was talking to him. There has been great confusion which causes me great amusement.
Matthew, thanks
