"I am going to McDonald to have a fish filet."
"Oh, you can do better than that. Go get sushi.
"Yes, I like sushi. I like sea ocean."
"Sea ocean?"
"Sea ocean!" Angel cups her hands to make a sphere.
"Sea urchin!"
"Oshin."
"Urchin. Sea urchin."
"They are like ose."
"Mmm?"
She points to the nightstand.
And indeed, the flowers weren't silk.

Click Search and type "ose egg".
