Language Barriers Made Me Smile

Although language barriers are often a cause for frustration, it also cracks me up.

I had a good laugh this morning because of my mom =)
Mom: You shoulda watch sex-peal. Iss good for you.
Me: Sex Appeal?...Huh?
Mom:Sex-peal! Lomeo and Jew-yet.
Me:...Shakespeare?

Student from my Sunday School Class:
Student: My uncle is a pirate.
Me: Whoa, really?! He's a pirate? Like, "Argh" *Covered eye with one hand, made hook with finger from the other*
Student: No, pirate! He flies.
Me: Oh! A pilot! That's cool too.

My Grandma trying to teach me French:
Grandma: Myulchee bbokkeum! (<--means anchovy fried rice in Korean, meant "merci beaucoup" )
Grandma: Puh-lenchi Thank-que!

Hahaha love it! =) So cute~


Smile Big,
E.H.
