Hello again!
Today's edition reminds us that it's not enough to just spend time with a person. For instance, there's a world of difference between sharing a sofa with someone while watching TV and sharing stories with someone around a campfire!
QUALITY TIME 充実した時間
- Quality time is a period of time when you give your full attention to someone (especially your children) in order to make your relationship stronger.
- quality time とは、誰か（特に自分の子どもなど）との関係をより強くするために、その人としっかり向き合う、充実した時間のことです。
- I try to keep my weekends free so that I can have some quality time with my family. This weekend we're all going to make homemade pizza together.
- HUSBAND: What do you mean we don't spend enough time together? I drive you to the station in the morning, we watch the 11:00 news...
WIFE: Well, that's not exactly quality time is it? - A lot of my friends' kids are very busy with school and after-school activities. But I think it's important for teenagers to spend quality time at home with their parents, too.
- (one of Tim's co-workers to another)
Tim may call taking Carl to a Major League ballgame “quality time with the boss,” but I call it schmoozing.
Thanks for spending this quality
time with us!
