I love understanding.

And it is well known how frustrated I become when I do not understand. I was with my friend Paulo today, and something made me crack up. First of all, he speaks fluent English, and with me always. When other people come along he cracks out the Portuguese. Anyway...today we went for coffee, and afterwards were walking around the city. A friend of his (who I had met already through another friend) came up. The two had a short conversation that went something like this:

"HOME!"
"Oi cara, tempo como vc esta?"
"Tudo bem, fui pra cafe agora...vc?"
"nada..."

Normal stuff, and out of the blue he said...

"Ela gostosa."
And Paulo..."Cara, ela te entende..."
"...oh..."

AAHAHAHAH. I always find it hilarious, but frustrating when people think I do not understand. This was a funny thing today, and after walking away kept laughing for ten minutes. I take it as a compliment. I love when people do that.

NOTE TO PALMAS: I UNDERSTAND YOUR LINGO.

Loving life.
