It’s summer and Yui’s daycare will have the pool open for two months. We were required to bring three things: swimsuit, towel (preferably with a hood – I brought Yui a bathrobe) and a plastic bag. I was really baffled with the plastic bag because I find it such a waste and not eco-friendly at all. Was about to buy a pack of plastic bag (as in the same type you’d use in grocery stores but small size) when I decided to just use the Eco bag we used as give away for our wedding since we still have a number with us. That way, I can just wash one while the other is at daycare.

And then come first day of pool and I saw what “plastic bag” really should be. And as it happens, I was the only one who misunderstood. Hubs also thought I knew what plastic bag meant. I finally bought one today, a week after the pool started.

Culture difference blooper.
