A Funny Cup

シーさーしーさーそこ
My grandson gave this strange cup as a souvenir of Okinawa to my husband. He took part in a graduation trip to Okinawa the other day. He got around looking for souvenirs to buy. He wondered what to buy for my husband. He knows very well that my husband likes alcoholic drinks very much and my grandson has seen his grandpa got get drunk before. So, he must have thought that it was better for his grandpa not to drink too much.

By chance, my grandson found this cup in which a Shisaシーサー( a talisman to protect one from evil in Okinawa) was glaring fiercely. If you pour water or other drinks over some extent, say 80 %, all of it will run down from the hole of the bottom. That’s quite funny. My grandson doesn’t understand this system. My husband says that it might use siphon effect, but he isn’t sure. I hope this cup will work well on my husband.

Hi, eko
Thank you for your comment.
It is scorching hot, isn't it? On my way home this afternoon, I sweat a lot. Whenever I come home, I take a shower soon. That's very comfortable. I have to overcome this summer heat.
Oh, thank you, my grandson is gentle and humorous. He is talkative and makes me laugh often. To my regret, I can't meet him so often as before because he is busy studying and playing with his friend . See you.

Hi ruruan-san,
How funny cup this is! It's not funny but also good for health.

Hi, Anima
Thank you for your comment.
Oh, you want this cup for your partner! This cute shisa is looking up at my husband on the dining table. I don't know how he feels, but he must be thinking that drinking in moderation is good for his health. He is getting weaker in drinking year after year. I have seen many sake-lovers around him. Fortunately, most of them became more cheerful while drinking.

nice!

I want this cup for my partner!
If he uses this cup, he cannot drink too much....ha ha ha.
Shisa is lovely.

Hi, Nemo
Thank you for your comment. Children are watching grown-ups carefully. I wonder how they think about me. I hope that they know my favorite sweets. Anyway, it is well-known among relatives that my husband likes drinks. As for me, I am satisfied with only one glass of beer or wine. I have a weak stomach and I can't drink so much. Therefore, I rarely drink with my husband, fortunately or unfortunately. See you.

Hello ruruan-san

Hello ruruan-san,

Your grandson found a wonderful souvenir for your husband !
I didn't know something like that was sold there.
I bet it's popular as a souvenir among lots of tourists.
And your grandson's wish of not having your husband drunk will be fulfilled.
By the way, ruruan-san, do you sometimes drink with your husband, if it's not rude to ask.
