Lost in translation


Chatting with hubby while he works in Middle East.

Me: Getting more complicated? Sounds like you could use an "Easy" button.

DH: Yes, but written in Arabic

Me: How do you say "easy" in Arabic?

DH: I don't think there is a word for it.

Bahahaha! Maybe you had to be there. I could use an "easy" button right about now too.

  1. I've thought about getting one for myself - whipping it out and pushing it fiercely in stressful situations - like school meetings!! lol Can you imagine the look on everyone's face? I also envision having a "magic wand" and using it much the same way. Like when a professional says "I don't have a magic wand . . . " and I blurt out "Oh but I do - would you like to borrow it?". I REALLY want to do it, either one. I think people would either laugh hysterically or role their eyes - the ones who laugh would instantly be on our team. The rest - bah humbug.
