Miho's Mom

Got to meet Miho's mom on Saturday. Miho had been busy all week since she was preparing for the Harumi Starback's 3rd year anniversary party. I dropped by Asakusa (where she lives) and was able to catch her after she got off work. The pair are very funny to watch. They should be on some comedy program as a mother-daughter duo. I was surprised, for instance, when Miho hit her mother a bit harshly for embarassing the poor girl. But Miho said that "style" was popular. Funny, but usually that's constituted as abuse where I come from :) Nonetheless, her mother has a good sense of humor and is open about things. Of course, her biggest concern is Miho's safety. But if anyone knows me, they realize that I'm pretty paranoid, maybe a bit too paranoid so in general I tried to assure them that Miho would be safe. Honestly, I'm also worried for Miho since she's a very nice girl (from what I've seen) and has a good heart. It would break my own if something bad would befall her (especially at my own hands). One of the funniest things I noticed was that Miho would kinda translate or even mimicry everything I said back to her mom. I think her mom got a little annoyed by it, but it seemed like Miho was desperately trying to convince her mom that I am a good person. That whole thing kinda reminded me of how a kid would try everything in their manipulative power to convince their parents that some toy is necessary. The truth is that if someone wants something, it's really up to them. I think her mother understands Miho enough and probably can trust me after meeting me. I hope to be able to garner more of their trust in the future. Her entire family though seems very jolly. Her dad was busy getting drunk at an izakaya while the rest of the family was at home. I think that's how she gets her positive energy. In the future, I hope to meet the rest of her near family as well. Seems like a good family.
