Lost in Translation

Everyone knows that Marco is not a native English speaker but has adapted here amazingly. Most can't even tell that he has a Dutch accent when he speaks. Sometimes it does catch up with him and we have a lost in translation moment. It usually cracks both of us up and Ian is starting to get in on the fun!

Last night we were trying to get ready for dinner and in a rush to get food on the table when Marco had a moment. He turned around and told Ian to go wash his hands in the "toilet"--translated means the bathroom. I turned around quickly to see Ian's reaction and it was great--he had the most confused look on his face and just said "ohhhh nooo daddy--why I do that?"!

Life is always fun :)
