## Mnemonic

| Think of dad on two crutches, the crutches crossing back and forth as he hobbles.

## Kunyomi

ちち | father,(which is weird, considering that chichi also means 'tits,' which is basically what the 'mother' kanji depicts. So why isn't 'mama' called chichi?) ★★★★★

父親(ちちおや) | father ★★★★☆ KUNKUN 父 (dad) + 親 (parents/kindness) = 父親 (father) father ー which is weeeird, since "CHICHI" is slang for breasts.
父母(ちちはは) | mama-papa ★★☆☆☆ KUNKUN KIDS 父 (dad) + 母 (your Moms) = 父母 (mama-papa )

You write a sentence about CROTCHES.

I combine a BERET with crutches, to make the fashion hit of the season.

Dad has NO BERET, because he's not French.
