Toki does osojiToki does osoji
Good day at home--Cleaning house, planting greens, walking with the pups. Toki's accidentally helping by throwing her toy into the trash.

Had one of those intergenerational/twinkie moments...I asked my mom if there was a Korean word for cleaning house/self for the New Year. She looked at me like I was slow (yes, I could see her look over the phone), and said "chung-soh," which means cleaning. When I pressed her for a more specific word, she said "dae chungsoh," which means big cleaning. And I could hear the look on her face--if I cleaned properly all year, I wouldn't have to look for special words to describe it.

Since I didn't make it to a Korean bathhouse, I scrubbed about a pound offa myself this morning (guess it's a traditional thing). I didn't bother to ask my mom if there was a word for that tho.

well, you know what your mom would say: mog-yok. you know, bath-ing. Or maybe she would say cheong-so.

hilarious -- you should keep this one for a collected stories on Korean moms.

 

thx! and yeah, that's why i didn't ask. all i needed was her wondering why i don't know how to bathe...
