The kanji for white radish is spelled “Big Root”. There are several ways to read that word but only one way is correct: daikon. When I was in the third grade, I was doing my kanji notebook and came across this word. It was marked as a difficult kanji but most Japanese kids read it right. I thought about it for a looong time and read it with all my confidence; OONE.

Later I heard that all my brothers read it the same way as I did when they first saw that word. This was when I understood the concept of genetics for the first time..kinda sad.
