That made me laugh! Goodness I need to laugh more and that was just too cute....you must just give a lot of giggles and hugs to your hubby! Thank you for that story....thank you!
Hee hee! This is funny! This is the best part about two cultures hooking up--the laughs when we mess up the languages! It's hard to stay mad when your husband is angrily telling you things that don't make sense, right? lol
Oh that is too cute, mind you the French take the moon very seriously, as well they should,so maybe your dearly beloved was not that far of the mark! Perhaps you were feeling a little bit lunar XX
Tammy - I'm sure you've loads of stories just like this! Oh, the joys of being lost in translation x
Morgane - never heard of that one, but I'm definitely going to look into it ;-)
Dash - Me feeling lunar is very likely x
Dedene - Actually I'm the silly one, we speak English and he always has little slips like this (moon instead of mood), but his English is still so much better than my French! When he tells me he's fluent in English, I tell him he's fluent in his own special language! The laughter never stops :-)
One of my favorite translation moments was when I was sitting with a French winemaker. He spun the wine in the glass, took a deep sniff, looked at me and said, "It smells like cock"....to this day I have no idea what he was trying to say. I swear I lost it and would continue to lose it for days after just thinking about it.
Awww, newlyweds. I'd pinch both you guys' cheeks if I could.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the little things lost in translation. =) So cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's true, we are pretty freaking cute
