Japanese Proverbs
A/N: Okay, so this has been floating in my head since I first saw holiday decorations at a store. Yep, it's a christmas story/idea. I will post the summary that has just a tad of information in it and I'd like everyone to review and tell me if it's a good enough idea to post. If it is, it'll end up being a chapter-fic. But, I'd like to say that the distant uncle that is an OC is based off of my ex-kendo/japanese teacher. He's an amazing guy, but unfortunately doesn't teach japanese II and I didn't take Kendo this year. He is a native japanese, hehe. And the "proverb" from the summary is actually something that he has said, lmao.
Show: Life with Derek
Rated: T, just in case

Summary: "You know, there is an old, Japanese proverb about a pig and a pearl," Mr. Sugimura said, appearing suddenly. Derek jumped at the sound of his voice and gave him a confused look, "What?" Mr. Sugimura sat next to Derek on the outside steps, "Think about it. If you had a pearl that you didn't always appreciate, but then suddenly one day, it was gone. Wouldn't you miss it?" Derek's eyebrows scrunched together, "What about the pig?" "What pig?"
When Nora and George want to get away for the holidays, they send Derek, Casey, Edwin, Lizzie, and Marti off to a distant, unheard-of, Japanese uncle that lives in Hawaii. The uncle turns out to be a bit wackier and stranger than expected. Is this uncle really out of his mind, or does he see something that the elder siblings don't?
