I sent Mee a totally factual email.

Along with some pictures of the cherry blossoms, I added one of a tree with a face tacked onto it, and this helpful explanation:

Did you know? American trees have faces. The trees talk a lot in the spring. (They sleep during the winter.)

Most trees only talk about weather and bugs, so they're boring. There are also trees who know the future, but they're rare. Those trees have bad attitudes, though, so I think that's fine.

Trees' eyes can see ghosts, but in America, autumn is the ghosts' season. The trees can't meet the ghosts yet.


I'm expecting to get a message back that just says "LIES." Also included was a lovely stick-figure illustration I made, but it has her real name in it so I can't post it.

The Japanese text (probably wrong in many places!):

知っていたの? アメリカの木は顔がある。 春は、 木がいつもしゃべっている。 (冬は、 木が眠る。)

ほとんどの木は天気や虫についての話だけだから、 おもしろくない。 占える木もあるけど、 珍しい。 占える木が性格が悪いので、 サラにとっていいよ。

木の目はお化けさんが見えるけど、 アメリカは、 秋はお化けさんの季節だ。 木がまだお化けさんと会えない。

You can use some of these to back up your outrageous claim:

>Looks at Japanese text<

... tree ... tree ... tree ... tree ....tree ... tree ... tree's eye ... tree!

>sigh<

(OK, I recognized a bunch of の too.)
