If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
Last night, while serving dinner at the Hood, I asked one of our Egyptian staff members to translate a word into Arabic. I asked him to give me the Arabic word for “inappropriate.”
Instead, he gave me an inappropriate Arabic word. Which I said. Without hesitation. As another Egyptian staff member walked up behind me.
His reaction told me that what I had just said was not what I was looking for in my bilingual studies.
I was mortified.
HAHAHA I bet I know who that was…
And you would be right!
