Not This Time!!

Today, I went to buy delicious dark chocolate at the 100 yen store by my host house. The cashier lady asked me something, which I didn’t exactly understand, but I assumed she was asking whether I wanted a bag for the chocolate, and I said no. She gave me a questioning look and said, “No?” Thinking that maybe I had misunderstood her, I was all, “Ohwhat?” She again asked me, and I again said nothanks, and she again gave me an odd look and asked, “No?” I gave her another “huh,” and then she asked, “ふくろ?” which I know means bag, and I said ohno. She pulled out a plastic bag to show me, and I said, “No.”

  2. Every time I say "はい" when asked if I want a "ふくろ"、I always hope that they said "ふくろう" and hand me an owl.
