Meaning Mnemonic

If someone is holding flowers, they're probably an author. Authors really love flowers, because they help them think of flowery language they can use to sound smart in their books.

Hints

Imagine a time when a book you were reading used flowery language and you couldn't understand. Imagine the annoyance with the author for using words that are hard to understand.

Reading Mnemonic

Unfortunately, the author is allergic to flowers. They are only allergic to touching them though, so the author is holding the flowers with a pair of chopsticks (ちょ), really close to their face. Using the chopsticks, they can still use the flowers to think of fancy, author-ly words without touching them.

Hints

Picture the author trying to use chopsticks to move around a little flower. It looks like they're having a hard time, but people will do anything to be a great author, I suppose.
