So I work with this really adorable Southern Italian girl, and her English is absolutely amazing. Every once and a while, though, she makes a hilarious mistake while speaking, and her way of brushing over the mistakes is even funnier than the mistake itself.
I just wanted to share the one she made on the shuttle bus home from the office last night because it was especially awesome.
We were talking about cooking.
Chiara: I was making a deener for my friends last night, and I start making the braaaw-koh-lot, right, with all the spices and the butter and --
Me: Wait, you were making the what?
Chiara: I was making the deener for my friends.
Me: Nonono. The other word. With the spices and whatnot.
Chiara: Oh, you mean the braaaw-koh-lot?
Me: Yes! That's the one. What's braaaw-koh-lot?
Chiara: You know braaaw-koh-lot. Eet's thee vegetable that looks like a little tree and the cheeldren, they hate to eat eet.
Me: Oh, oh! Broccoli! You mean broccoli.
Chiara: Ah, yes. Braaaw-koh-lee, thees is the word. You see, braaaw-koh-lot, thees is my word for one of the braaaw-koh-lee.
.....
Hahah. I don't know why, but that seriously set me off in a fit of giggles for like, twenty minutes.
Anyone else have any friends/coworkers that have hilariously cute English?
