Mnemonic


[gu-] Goofy is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying 盥 to wash up. He places a deep vintage second-hand Disney 皿 dish in the dirty sink and fills it with 水 water. As he bends down to 盥 to wash up his face, his shirt zipper zipper somehow gets stuck on the faucet, causing him to spray 水 water all his face and the entire pawn shop bathroom. It looks like Goofy, in a very goofy way, has 盥 washed up everything in the bathroom... sort of.
