She laughs off everything no matter what. Thoughts after growing up watching my naturally airheaded, right-brain-dominant mother.

Following my sisters and father, this time I will talk about my mother.

My naturally airheaded and cheerful mother

In a word, my mother is extremely right-brain-dominant and naturally airheaded.

Because she is airheaded, she is always making silly mistakes that are full of things to tease her about, and when I would tease her, she would laugh until she cried.

We three siblings also have some of that airheadedness inherited from our mother.

Whenever we would mess something up, we would say, 'Ah, Mom's blood (genetics) is coming out,' and blame her, and she would just laugh.

Thanks to having a mother who was always laughing, in contrast to our frugal and serious father, our home was always filled with a bright atmosphere.

When I was in elementary school

I had the experience of being bullied by some of my classmates.

Because my eyes were more distinctive than others, I was teased and called a 'demekin' (pop-eyed goldfish).

I kept the fact that I was being bullied a secret from my parents and sisters.

Since causing unnecessary worry wouldn't solve anything, I kept it to myself.

On the way home from school, there were times I would walk home crying, but by the time I reached home, I would wipe away my tears and endure it so my family wouldn't see.

At those times, I would immediately lock myself in my room and cry quietly.

School was full of painful things, but I was saved by the brightness of my family, starting with my mother.

She would laugh no matter what happened.

No matter how silly a mistake I made, she would laugh.

Because I had a place where I belonged when I returned home, I was able to maintain my mental balance, and I loved my family.

A presence like the mother in 'Flying Colors' (Biri Gal)

When I watched the movie 'Flying Colors,' I felt that the presence of Kokoro Tachibana, the mother who raised the protagonist, was very similar to my own mother.

In a previous note, I talked about an episode with my mother.

My mother is the person who sees my good points, tells me about them in words, and understands me the best.

Summary

It is no exaggeration to say that it is thanks to my mother's presence that I, who could not do well in studies, sports, or friendships, was able to have the dream of becoming an actor and make it to Tokyo.

My sister who is gifted in both intelligence and beauty, and my younger sister who is liked by everyone.

My frugal and serious father, and my mother who is always laughing.

I grew up in a seven-person family that also included my grandfather and grandmother.

I will talk about my grandfather and grandmother another day.
