I went to the doctor recently, and I understood every word they said. However, I had no clue what they were trying to tell me! This happens more often that I would really care to admit. I understand the WORDS in a conversation, but the MEANING just escapes me. This situation happened again while we were visiting a cute little Mediterannean town with Daniel's family.
The sign on the restaurant said something like "small fried fish". We asked the waitress what it was, and her explanation made it sound like expensive fish nuggets for adults. This town was a tourist trap, but it still served "authentic" meals like small ocotpus, squid, fish pie, etc. So, fried fish sounded good.
A better translation would have been "small fried fish-es".
Claire asked why our fish had eyes. I think her grandparents and great-grandparents almost choked on their own little fish when she said that! But, being the good little French-ified American that she is, CLAIRE TRIED ONE! We were so proud! (She did, however, turn down a second fish.)

And I still laugh every time I think about those "small fried fish"!
Awesome picture. How did they taste?
oh, dear. oh, dear. oh no.
Tiffany, thank you so much for your comment on my blog. I totally understood what you were saying. In fact, I am blessed that you took time to encourage me. When pain is so real some people don't say anything at all, but I needed to hear what you wrote. I believe what you wrote in that God's promise is there. That is what I discovered that night...there is a promise and it will still be fulfilled, just not how I expected it. It will be just as wonderful. I am even experiencing great joy at how this will be fulfilled. Again, thank you so much and I hope you and your family have a great day.
It really is hard eating anything that's looking at you.
You know that "meaning" thing. Happens to me in English (sometimes)
Love you!
hahahahahaha.
and how did they taste?
