Echo Chamber

Sometimes Sayaka pats my head and in a patronizing voice says,「いい子いい子」Sometimes I pat her head and tell her she is an「いい子いい子」Today I tried to explain to her that what we essentially have going on here is an echo chamber (in which we each congratulate the other for being a “good little boy/girl”). She said, “No, we have an いい子 chamber.”

  1. This one was for Japanese speakers, but the (bad) joke of this little anecdote lies in the fact that “good little boy/girl” is pronounced, “eee-kow”

  2. My wife just groans when I make puns like this. I don’t think she’s ever laughed at a joke of mine. Sometimes she’ll say “That was a good try!” And pat me on the head like I was a dog that just did a trick or something. Oh well.
