Katie, what's another situation going to be like?
Oh, my goodness, Ken. They all are in a bad mood.

                              • -

Hey, yummy. I found some berries.
Don't touch them. Those berries may not be edible.
They taste good.
No, Leo, no. Don't eat them! Spit them out right now!
I already swallowed them. Hmm...
John! Leo is eating tons of wild berries!
What? Oh, no. Leo, where did you find the berries?
Over there!
You mean over here?
I mean over there. Yeah.
They're wild blueberries. I used to eat these as a kid!
Oh, what a relief!
Oh, my tummy.
Leo!
I'm kidding.
Leo!

                          • -

So what's another situation going to be like, Jeff?
Oh, this time, John has been out in the sun all day.
Oh, my.

                                              • -

John, your neck is getting purple.
It's no big deal.
Hmmm
Ow! Don't breathe on it, please!
Sorry. I see blisters. Your skin is going to peel.
It's nothing. It's okay.
No, it's not. I'm putting sunscreen on it.
Ow! That smarts! That hurts!
You need to come inside. I mean it.
Yeah, yeah.
Sunburns could increase the chance of developing skin cancer.
Okay. I got it.
Come on!
Ow! Don't touch me!

                      • -

Ouch.
Oh.
Yeah.
I remember that.
Me, too.
I've had that happened to me before.
Oh, really. When?
Oh, going to the beach in California. Oh, got sunburned like crazy.
Oh, my. How about you, Katie?

I remember being 10 years old and having a horrible sunburn.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah. How about you, Ken?
Me, too.
Yeah.
I was probably 10, 11 or something, I was lying on the beach for a long, long time, sleeping.
Ouch.
That's the worst.
Yup. Sleeping purple body.
Oh.
Went home and took a bath and couldn't do it.
Ouch.
So, used cold water, still didn't work.
They say the best thing for it is to put vinegar on it.
No.
But that smarts!
That must to smart a lot.
It does.
That's not a smart idea, I think.
No. But it really does help. That’s really.
Really?
Yes.
Apple vinegar or?
Just regular vinegar something like that.
Regular rice vinegar okay?
I don't know. I have no idea.
You never tried that.
I never did.

Another situation. Katie, what's another situation going to be like today?
This is a scene from a horror movie called "The Mud Bottom."

                                          • -

This lake has a mud bottom.
It's full of giant leeches, too.
Oh, no!
They don't really pose a threat to humans, I think.
You think? I'm getting out of the water!
There's a leech on your ankle.
Ahh!
It'll drop off eventually.
No, take it off now! It's giving me the creeps!
Okay. Hold still.
Thank you!
Ouch.
Who's that?
Leech.

                                • -

Oh, wow!
That was scary.
I thought that was funny.
Oh, that scared me.
I got really scared there.
Me, too. It gave me the creeps.

Have you ever had this sort of experience in the past?
No.
Something that gives us the creeps.
I haven't ... I've never had a leech.
You haven't. Me neither.　　　
No. Uh-uh. Never.

Is there anything that gives you the creeps?
Oh yes. Sometimes if I go by a deserted house.
（go by = そばを通る　deserted house = 人の住んでいない家、廃屋）
Yes.
It gives me the creeps.
Deserted house.
Yes.
All right.
Umm... It's interesting.
Yeah.

How about you, Jeff?
Some spiders.
Spiders?
Give me the creeps. Not big ones but little ones give me the creeps.
Spiders.
Yeah, I don't like spiders.
Spiders are cute.

You're a little Mr. Muffet, Jeff! Sat on a tuffet.
Well, I don't get scared away. They just give me the creeps.

                                                              • -

How about you, Ken?
Well, some of the pictures in the Rajio Eikaiwa textbook give me the creeps. No, I'm just...
What?
I'm joking.

What's it going to be like, this time?
They are fast talkers this time.
Even faster?
Umm
My!

                          • -

Come and get it!
Dad showed me how to skip rocks.
Great!
Why are there so many bees flying around?
There's a beehive in that tree.
A big swarm just came out of the hive!
They're heading this way! Run for it!
Leo, take my hand!
I'll grab the picnic basket!
That was a close one!
We did a good job.
Things happened to us.
That keeps us busy.
Busy as bees.
Nice one, honeybee.
Bzzzzzzz ...

                                • -

That's cute. They called him honeybee.
Oh yes.
That's adorable. （adorable = 愛らしい)
That's what they said. Honeybee.
Yeah.
All right.
That was pretty fast.
Because sometimes we just say honey. “Hey, honey.” “Hi, honey.” “How are you, honey?”
Honey's good, too.
Yes.
But you don't call anybody bee on its own, right?
No, no.
Not on its own. No.
Wow. That was a real maybe the fastest dialog ever done on Rajio Eikaiwa.
I think it might be.
Yeah. I agree.

So, they ran for it...
Yes.
And they're in the car now and they're safe.
And they're glad because it was a close one.
That's good, yes. And that's it for this week, family outing.
