So I was over at my folks for a short visit last week with the kids when I happened to notice that my Mom keeps watching the French channel. When I asked her why she said, "Your sister married a Frenchman, so I need to learn French."
Me - By watching the French news?
Mom - Yes, same like English. How you think I learn good English? From watching TV.
Me - Riiiiiiiight.
Later on that night, I come home to find my Mom still watching TV, but something has changed.
Me - I thought you said you was trying to learn French?
Mom - I am.
Me - Then why are you watching the Italian news?
Mom - Italian? Waaaaaaaah? No wonder I don't know what they talking about!
Me - Riiiiiiiight.
Oh man. I can totally relate. I have actual TEARS squeezing out of the corners of my eyes from laughing at this.

Here's to your mom -- the lead swimmer in the family's gene pool of humor!
ReplyDeleteI love your Mom. Will you share her?
ReplyDeleteOh my word that's hysterical!
ReplyDeleteActually, French, Spanish & Italian are all relatively close, linguistically. I took High School Spanish & my friend took Italian. We were still able to converse together in our respective languages. It wasn't until I started learning Welsh (one of the oldest surviving languages on the planet,) that my brain rebelled completely & said, "You've GOT to be KIDDING me!"
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That was too funny!

ReplyDeleteyou do know that we all, eventually, turn into our moms, right? hee!
ReplyDeleteYour poor mom! I know how she feels!
ReplyDeleteWe were in Nicosia, Cyprus, during a recent holiday, and my daughter and I happened to overhear a conversation between two people. I told my youngest kid that it sounded a lot like Turkish and she looked at me like I was nuts and said, "Mom, it IS Turkish."
AHAHAHAH!
ReplyDeleteShe's a cutie!
