Soon after leaving home on a bus for Toyko Disneyland, Kimberley's zip broke. I decided to push on, using Kristine's hair clip to improvise. While we continued our queue for Roger Rabbit ride. I asked a pair of Disneyland ground staff for help in my broken Nihongo. My request sent the two ground staff scrambling to a Child Centre inside Disneyland looking for help, but returned empty handed. Her reply in Nihongo is not transcribable because I could not fully understand, much less to remember, but I picked up what she meant and she agreed when I repeated my understanding in English. She suggested I goto a souvenir shop near the theme park main entrance and buy a Disney badge with pin, or a pair of Disney pants and t-shirt. I tried to get her a Disney t-shirt when we arrived but she insisted on wanting just Tinkerbell which was not available.....
Nevermind, Kimberley spent the rest of the day wearing the same dress with a giant hair clip on her back. Many adult eyes surveyed Kimberley's back throughout the day, and the same eyes casually crossed mine immediately after that. I could sense those eyes emitting ?????????. More importantly, Kristine learned how to improvise, and Kimberley learned how to accept imperfection....
