LOL!

That’s funny! I always wanted to respond in Spanish, when I was spoken to in German. Talk about confused!

Then I met a guy who had about as much of the two languages as I had, so we developed our own “language” of English, Spanish and German in our conversations. Folks could follow it up to a point... ;o]

LOL. Years ago we had a friend who was tri-lingual (simultaneous translator) in French, English and Spanish. LoM is also fluent in all three. I came home from work one day and knew almost immediately who LoM was on the phone with... but I heard something odd and started listening to hear what it was. Then I figured it out and cracked up -- while LoM was glaring at me because she didn't know what so funny.

It was this: they were hopping from one language to another every few sentences. But LoM's accent lagged the hop by about a sentence: for example, when she went from French to English I heard a sentence in English with an unbelievably heavy French accent!
