Another Funny Language Mishap!

Gotta love my spanish. Just when I think I am truly getting a hang of the language, I go and make a complete fool out of myself. So, today I was truly parched. I needed something to drink and fast. Well I absolutely love pear juice, which is served here like apple juice is served in the US. It is very popular and very good. Anyway, I have never actually pronouced "Jugo de pera" before. Well, in this occasion, I got a little over rolly with my RRRRs, and said "PeRRa" instead of "PeRa." Well, this "slip of of the tounge" changed my request from "Please give me the pear juice," to "Please give me the bitch juice." Of course the lady reponsed with, "Perdoname?" And I again with a smile on my face, and a sense of pride in my ability to roll my Rs, "Por favor, dame el jugo de PeRRa." She started to crack up laughing at this point and called three only Dominican women to hear my version of pear juice. Well, to make a long story short, I was the laughing stock of the store. I immediately claimed my American heritage, and they quickly replied with, "Oh I understand now, it is ok."

But at least I can look at myself and laugh!

Peace guys!!! Until Next Time....
