Thus, she makes me handle all of the telephonic communication. It gets a little idiotic when she's barking questions at me and I feel like a simultaneous interpreter whilst leaving a semi-coherent message, but it works.<BR/><BR/>When we traveled to Italy (pre-kiddo, of course), we discovered that she can understand spoken Italian fairly well, and I can speak well enough to reserve a hotel room. The catch was that I'm a poor listener (too busy trying to figure out what I'm about to attempt to say) and she's unwilling to say something incorrectly. Thus, we were like that two-headed Sesame Street character. Now imagine us trying to make phone calls. From the middle of a busy intersection/roundabout in Florence. About why our rental car place was closed during a time it was supposed to be open. It took us three call-backs to get ANYwhere. I bet the rental car people were laughing their asses off, since we hadn't bothered to ask them if they spoke English, which I bet they did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17064937.post-15500619722632944762007-09-17T19:39:00.000-04:002007-09-17T19:39:00.000-04:00i have to apologize, but i'm LOVING this post! sor...i have to apologize, but i'm LOVING this post! sorry it's at your expense, it's just that i can so totally see myself doing the same thing. i think i might call back and leave a fake name, then pretend to be the fake person on the tour. then get caught when they try to make sure i'm pre-registered for delivery!<BR/><BR/>do they have an online sign-up?? i was able to do mine by fax...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587725139301198392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17064937.post-26560851661623860692007-09-17T15:12:00.000-04:002007-09-17T15:12:00.000-04:00Gimme the number.
