Monday was girls' day in Japan and traditionally you put out hina dolls until the day of the celebration. I was talking to one of my students the day after girls' day and she told me that there is a superstition/tradition in Japan that if you don't put the dolls away by night-fall of the actual day, the girls in your house will never be brides. Of course, here it is now days after girls' day and our dolls are still out.
"Well," said my mom, "it doesn't matter. I don't really plan on getting married again, so..."
"And what about me?" I asked.
Her response was to laugh in my face. Well, I guess it doesn't really count if I'm laughing, too.
