How did he clarify-—by giving her a big smooch?
I think he just got red in the face and corrected his inflection. I seem to recall the instructor’s nickname was the “Dragon Lady”, very hot. I wasn’t as lucky in Japanese. All the instructors were Japanese men, the first one named Kumayama (Bear Mountain), 4th degree Judo blackbelt, with a voice like a movie Samurai. Scary dude, but married to a petite American Jewish girl. Their baby would pound on his face while he held her. Hilarious.
