Title: language barrier
Post by: sandy on July 29, 2009, 09:45:58 pm

WHere is the blushing smiley? I was out with some young people making clay money box's, a young boy of 8 was sitting with a girl making a Duck one and it was good, he made a whole in the bottom and also  a stopper (should have used that word) as he was making the whole I said " are you making a whole for a cork?" in my English accent, the boy went red and giggled to the girl who looked down and told him to be quiet, I said it again and he said " I thought you said Cock!" still giggling...very good night though, all those Scots on the site will understand better!!!

We had a lovely Irish couple visit us to buy some hens, they introduced themselves as Willie and Hannah.

We started to see them every week at the farmers market, and my Tara would giggle every time we saw them.

One day I asked why she was laughing, and she said "Well fancy calling your little boy that name, its silly".

So now he is known as silly willie ;D ;D ;D ;D

Funny what kids see as really funny
