I dont know. People are strange.

My dingbat friend was here today. She always does something off-the-wall that tickles me.

My dingbat friend again. She came here yesterday and said her new music player wouldnt work. Thats true, it wouldnt until I showed her the on and off switch. Then she was all upset because her orange trees were dying, the leaves all fell off. I told her of course they did, they do that every winter. She said oh. Shes a good soul, but has as much sense as a screwdriver.

It sounds like she has been drinking quite a few screwdrivers. LOL.

Okay, so this is not going to be funny to anyone else but me... but...

Today I was teaching some 5-6 year old kids the phrase "brush your teeth" which is kind of hard for them to say, and they couldn't remember it. So when I showed the flash card for the tenth time, hoping they would finally get it (they didn't), this one brave kid just said it in Japanese, but he changed the stress/pronunciation so that it resembled how a foreigner might say it with an accent. Their regular teacher and I both almost fell out laughing.

I can imagine it was funny to hear it. I said to a friend a while back in what I thought was fair Spanish would you like a fish taco. She started laughing and told me do you know what you said? You asked me if you could hit me with a fish. Back to the books.

Hahaha! That's awesome!!!

Reminds me of the time I attempted to ask my coworker if he had gotten married, and instead I accidentally hit on him by the direct way I asked, "Hey, are you married?" I embarrassed him pretty bad. But at least I didn't ask him to hit me with a fish. 8)

Sometimes its better not to say anything at all in a language youre not sure of. You might get punched in the nose. In Spanish the word for car is coche. But if you use it in some areas the people will think you are stuck up trying to act like a big shot. The common word for car for us pore folks is carro.

I was listening to a lecture and the speaker was using the giant squid to illustrate something, I don't remember what. He kept talking about the squid's "testicles" (he meant tentacles, of course) and how long and strong they are, and once they grab hold of something, they don't let it go.

My boyfriend was cleaning the shower and accidentally turned the freezing cold water on himself and screamed like a girl.
