My husband calls ramen saimin now.
He also knows what it means when he sees the phrase “eddie would go”.
He adds dashes of seasoning on to his rice.
He calls his slippers flip flops. He laughs at me when I say “lets go bank”
He uses phrases like the big kahuna and the big opu.
He doesn’t beep his car horn as much as he use to.
He evens waves a thank you wave when he’s merging in traffic now.
