Reading

こよみ
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

When looking at a calendar, the 子読み (こよみ) of it is to... well... not be able to read it at all. Because, children can't really read. So, when you look at a calendar you have to explain it to a child, since they cannot read it.
