Bahaha

So I’m eating dinner with an old Haitian man tonight and we had a little bit of confusion. He looks at me and says “I have some big problem”. Translation “Mwen genyen kek gwo pwoblem
I thought he said “Mwen genyen tet gwo pwoblem”. Translation “I have a big head problem”.

I felt so bad for the guy. I told him, “Honey, I don’t think you have a big head. It’s normal size.”

Bahahah…. He was looking at me like I was a complete idiot. Finally, someone came in that spoke English and they straighten everything out for us. I still don’t know what his problem was though.

Cross cultural communication gives me nightmares! Help me Jesus!!!!!!
