Cute boy【かわいい男の子】

ある日ひ、お兄にいちゃんはパパと朝あさから二人ふたりで出でかけていた。お昼ひる過すぎに帰かえってきてから

お兄ちゃん:「今日きょう僕ぼく一回いっかいもお母かあさんに触さわってない。そんな日ひって今いままでにあったかなぁ。」

今日は彼かれはお母さんに触らない日にしようと思おもって、しばらく私わたしから離はなれていた。でも、そう長続ながつづきはせず、つい私の近ちかくに来きて触ってしまった。

お兄ちゃん:「あー！触っちゃった！」

一回触ったら、そんなゲームはすぐにやめて、「こちょこちょして〜。一緒いっしょに遊あそぼ〜。」と寄よってきます。

素直すなおに甘あまえてくるのがかわいいです。

One day, big brother and dad went out in the morning. When they came back, a bit past noon;

Big brother: “I haven’t touched mom all day! I wonder if there’s ever been a day like this before..”

He decided to turn today into a day without touching mom, and moved away from me. However, it didn’t last very long, and pretty soon he came near me and touched me.

Big brother: “Aaah I touched you!”

Now that he had touched me, the game had ended and he said “Tickle me! Let’s play!” and stuck to me.

It is cute how he is open and comes to cuddle.

REMARKS

素直すなお :
This word translates to “honest” or “straightforward” but it’s meaning and usage are quite a bit wider than that. It is often used to indicate someone being true to their feelings (not that common a thing for Japanese people to do, generally). In this case I chose to go with “open” as a translation, but a dictionary might have given “honest” as a translation instead.

甘あまえる:
This word also has a broad meaning. It is everything from relying on a loved one for help, to cuddling up with a parent or a lover. In this case, I went with “cuddle”, but a dictionary might give multiple other translations.
