Gotta' love the mom here, quickly shuttin' down any worries over the rice and just pointin' out how she appreciates the gesture.

Honestly Japanese rice is really that good. I'd feel so bad about cooking it wrong too.
Now on the other hand, long grain rice even when cooked perfectly feels dry to me, so I always make it mushy and soggy on purpose.
