My Favorite Mistakes

A friend of my father passed away on Thursday, one day after they played golf together.

J: "…So where is his funeral held at?"

T: "Sanda. Sanda, that's where he lives."

He's such a clumsy talker, plots far from intriguing, with no punch lines.

But "lives." The usage of the present tense instead of the past one? That mistake, which was obviously unintentional, made me feel so bitter and proud of his sincerity at the same time.


死について書くのは苦手ですが。

純：　「お葬式、どこであるの？」
隆：　「三田や。　三田に住んでるんや」とぽつり。　
切ない時制。
