Monday Blue #2

Fatty and I visited his friends in Singapore ten months after we were married.. I had been working on my english and was looking forward to practicing it.

On our first evening there, the entire family held a party for us. I spent a lot of time entertaining the childredn, one of whom enjoyed explaining everything to me in great detail.

Later I dejectedly said to fatty, “ I really thought my english had improved, but when I was talking with Rolando, no matter how hard I concentrated, I couldn’t understand a thing he was saying.”

“No one can,” he replied, “ he’s still learning how to talk.”
