Becoming Bilingual Overnight
A friend of our family had her elderly mother move in with her when she was too old to live on her own. One night, her mother had fallen asleep on the couch. Just as her daughter was about to wake her to bring her to bed, her mother started mumbling and then speaking clear as day in Japanese.
She didn’t know any Japanese people and she definitely didn’t speak the language. This woman was a total country bumpkin who just did her chores and tended to her garden. There was no reason for her to be speaking Japanese.
Anyway, it happened again a few times and her daughter was finally able to get a recording of it. She had it translated, and apparently, it was a poem or prayer that Japanese kamikaze pilots would say before a flight. Story credit: Reddit / (BeachCop)
