J...HA! Bread and cake...good enough reason, right?<br /><br />Just visiting via Creepy Query Girl's bloffee. I thought I'd already followed you, but maybe it was another Marta (I notice that name b/c it's the name of my great-grandmother, who wasn't Polish, but a Sami reindeer herder). <br /><br />Anyway, nice to meet you!Heather Day Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353914883176152555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6902198745469197522.post-65923396913386122072012-03-20T17:58:14.363-04:002012-03-20T17:58:14.363-04:00Cute story.

English is a bit of a second language for my sons since we live in Japan. It's too early int he morning for me to think of examples, but yes, there are some language mix ups that can make you laugh.Gabriella Hewitthttp://www.gabriellahewitt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6902198745469197522.post-69690789539967332252012-03-20T07:24:56.296-04:002012-03-20T07:24:56.296-04:00LOL That is hilarious!

Now, the neighborhood was Croatian/Serbian once upon a time, so there are still quite a few speakers of those language here, too, like my neighbor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6902198745469197522.post-54466201232709932962012-03-19T18:12:46.300-04:002012-03-19T18:12:46.300-04:00Hehe!

I don't remember much about the border crossing, but I would think it would be scarier now and quite a big deal to cross the border.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6902198745469197522.post-68920760146125911292012-03-19T13:19:04.566-04:002012-03-19T13:19:04.566-04:00I got a laugh out of that!I got a laugh out of that!Alex J.

Her dad was Ukrainian. Until she started school, Mum could only speak Ukrainian, but from school onwards only spoke English. My grandfather lost his English when I was a baby, through stroke. I grew up listening to mum talking in English and my grandfather answering in Ukrainian, and vice versa!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6902198745469197522.post-50830992130232332942012-03-19T07:10:16.841-04:002012-03-19T07:10:16.841-04:00I'm afraid I wasn't blessed with an ear fo...I'm afraid I wasn't blessed with an ear for languages. I barely survived living in Miami. There was one time that I apparently said something that made the guy think I was coming on to him. My friends burst out in laughter and didn't correct me. Don't worry, I paid them back for their crime. ;)Ciarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628488753277495111noreply@blogger.com
