meLodyCatt isn't isogashi with 2 "i"s? that's: よ おかん の やしのみ で いそがし :right? well, yeah is it probably with 2 "i"s. it depends on the source. Some sources double up first/last letter, others don't. and that other thing (よ おかん の やしのみ で いそがし ) is blocks to me....... anyway, you got any idea what it says?

Yo is confusing, but I believe in this situation it could be many
Many Palm trees of Oka-san (Mr Oka) are busy.
Yo (many/four)
Oka
San (honorific)
no (of, reverse from english)
Yashinomi (Palm Tree)
de (pointer of where the action is taking place, refering to the Palm trees)
Isogashi (busy)

Arenlor, you are practically right on it. however, Oka-san is Japanese for mother.
Put all togeather, this phraise means:
"I'm busy with your mom's coconuts."
I will have to check a few other posted topics on this but I would say we probably have a winner.
