OBAACHAN’S LESSON

“Girls,” Mom called to me and Sophie from her office.

When I got there, she had the computer turned on.

“Let’s call Obaachan so you can thank her for the gifts,” Mom said, opening the video-chat program.

“But it’s nighttime,” I said. Whenever Obaachan stayed with us, she liked to go to bed early and read. Sometimes she went to bed at the same time as I did, and I had an early bedtime.

“Remember, in Japan they are sixteen hours ahead of our time,” Mom explained.

“So it’s morning there now,” Sophie said.

I counted in my head. It was seven o’clock here, so that meant it was eleven o’clock in the morning there.

Sophie and I jostled in the one chair in front of the computer. Mom sighed and pushed two chairs together and made us each sit in our own chair.
