You’re the kid I picked up in the Kamo River.

The stories Kyoto people have.

Those born and raised in Kyoto have probably been told this at least once or twice by their parents.

Parents may say these words with a light heart, but the child who is told them is quite shocked. Children take seriously what their parents tell them.

I myself had a mild tic disorder when I was a boy, so I sometimes wonder if parents’ love was lacking for me.

In the past, people might have really dumped their newly-born children in the Kamogawa River! Some families, such as the baby boomers, probably had too many children to raise.

Do parents now say this too?
That’s a word I don’t really like to be told.
