Her Thoughts Are In Utero
Customer: “Do you have any Japanese music?”
Me: “Yes, we have quite a large selection.”
Customer: “That’s great. My daughter wanted something by, um, ah…”
(I patiently wait.)
Customer: “Oh, I can’t remember the name.”
Me: “Don’t worry. Take your time. Maybe you could ask your daughter again?”
Customer: “No, I got it. Something like… uterus?”
Me: *pause* “Uterus?”
Customer: “Hang on. I think I’ll call my daughter.”
(The customer walks away, pulling out a cell. She comes back a minute later.)
Customer: “Okay, I got it now. It’s Utada. Hikaru Utada.”
