I was asking my mom about this area called Ebisu and she said that I'd been there before.
"You know that place where Baba (my grandma) used to go? Where they lay you?"
Before you start thinking things about my grandma, you must know that when my mom said that, she also made a horizontal motion with her hands. I knew where she meant - it was like a physical therapy place for your spine... anyway I was laughing so hard, obviously she knew that she had said something funny.
"Lay you down?" she added.
"You HAVE to say 'down'," I told her. "Have to!" It was too weird to talk about the implied meaning of the partial phrase, but in any case we both had a big laugh.
