The Ugly Duckling's

Ichi pulled Yama's kimono firmly, making her fall hard. Ichiro laughed loudly, he felt very satisfied to see the father in pain. The thumping sound was so loud, considering Megumi's wooden-floored house. Sarah and Hana ran towards the direction of the voice, seen the two women patting her forehead simultaneously.

Yama was very upset, his face turned red. He stood up and lifted Ichiro on his feet, making the child hang in an inverted position. Yama flicked the boy's forehead hard.

Nah! "How dare you make me fall! I'll make you sorry!" Yama took her to the back garden of the house, a jolt for a 2-year-old was definitely painful.

Ichiro wept bitterly trying to reach his father who was far from his reach. Arriving at the park next to the house, Yama invited him to sit in the gazebo with the position of Seiza.

"Sit down!" yama's orders. He corrects Ichiro's wrong sitting position, then Yama chants kotozawa.

Yama sits opposite Ichiro, the kotozawa that comes out of his mouth making Ichi bored.

"I'm tired!" The 2-year-old complained, his legs hurt.

"Sit down! don't try to move." Yama is still chanting his kotozawa.

"Mamaa! i'm hungry!" Ichi shouted loudly, his eyes started to water.

Sarah saw from a distance two men who had enlivened her days. He stepped towards the gazebo, gesturing for Yama. Yama followed his wife out of the gazebo.

"Don't move!" Yama looked towards his son.

Yama hugs Sarah's affectionate from behind, "what's the matter," a kiss of affection lands on her cheek.

"Don't be too hard on Ichi, he's a kid. He's only 2 years old, he's your son!" Sarah started to grumble. Yama twisted his wife's body, she silenced Sarah with her lips. Ichiro rolled his eyes panted, he slept on the wooden floor.

Yama looked at Ichi who was lying down from the corner of his sharp eyes, he removed his lips with his wife. Yama walks towards Ichi, her next hand pulled by Sarah. Sarah nodded slowly.

"Buck! let's have dinner" call Yama.

The four of them had been sitting in the dining room, the food served made Ichi's eyes sparkle. There's his favorite food there, ebi furai. Ichi reached out his hand intending to take the ebi, then a punch was thrust into Ichiro's hand.

"Oh! I'm hungry!" Shouted Ichiro towards Yama.

"Ichi_chan we pray first." Ichi nodded at Sarah's soft words.

After praying, they ate quietly. This is the first rule when at the dinner table, another case with Kenjiro who used to like to talk while eating. Ichi occasionally let out his voice, but Yama gave him a sharp look.

"Darling, why are you giving him fried food?" Yama started the conversation when everyone had finished eating.

"No papa, I cook fried foods too rarely." Sarah helps rub Ichi's mouth.

Ichiro is seen engrossed in playing with her Obaa_chan in the living room. Yama and Sarah watched them, and occasional laughter filled the room. Not feeling the time shows at 8 pm, Sarah holds Ichi and takes her to the bathroom.

Unlike Yama who educates her son hard, Sarah does it gently. He taught me how to brush my teeth properly. Sarah mimics the singing of Ichiro's favorite cartoon, Shimajiro.

*Inside brush ...

Rubbing .. yes, the germs in my teeth are gone.

Brush the front ...

Scrub .. yes, the germs in my teeth are gone*.

"We're spilling the moustache together, let's rub Ichi." The two of them swayed in front of the mirror while brushing their teeth.

After all was done, Sarah brought Ichi into her room. Yama is already sitting there playing his city, the melody and the sound of the bobby nina singing from Yama ushers Ichiro into the dream world. The two of them kissed Ichiro's cheeks in turn, saying good night.
