xiaofeizhu Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Very cute story. That's one of the sad parts of their English improving. (I know, I know, shoot me, I should be glad my hubby's English is getting better). Their little accents and funny way of making sentences or saying words goes to waste. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Me...Dont worry sweetie you said it right...."mocycles",,,,,not much different than talking with some of my friends around here in the hills, when they come out of the hog-holler once a month for a visit. With a big wad of tobacco in their mouth, translations are not always easy. Link to comment
