Mnemonic


[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(o)u] bakery where he is using water from the sink to grow a small 田 rice field. A 力 muscular arm helps till the miniature 田 rice field and Jimmy picks the rice and gives it to his genius 舅 maternal uncle, who has the same goofy hairdo, to grind it up in a 臼 mortar to make flower. It's a bit cramped in there, but it is the easiest place to access water, I guess.
