うしなの?
寝る前にベッドに転がっていたら、ねこが突然私の背中に乗ってきた。
私:「もー!急に乗ったら痛いじゃん。」
ねこ:「もーって言うと思った。うしなの?」
私は怒っていたのに、自分では気づかなかったけど、そんなに普段から「もー」って言ってたのかと思うと、笑ってしまった。
Are you a cow?!
Before going to sleep, I was relaxing on the bed, when all of a sudden Neko jumped onto my back.
Me: “もー(Hey!) It hurts when you suddenly jump on top of me!”
Neko : “I knew you were gonna say “もー”! Are you a cow?”
Even though I was angry, realizing for the first time how often I say “もー”, I couldn’t help but laugh.
