So my oldest son had a Japanese girlfriend for a while, whose name was Ai, pronounced like the letter i. 

She was a fashion student at FIDM in downtown LA and one day while my son and I were driving, he mentions to me: “I got a job making lingerie.”  

My immediate thought was, who the hell would give you a job making lingerie?!? So I asked him and he clarified- no, not me…. Ai, my girlfriend. 

Well, ok. That makes more sense.
