Note to self: The word "pooch" sounds an awful lot like the word "cootch" so you might want to think twice about yelling at the man at work who just asked you how your cootch is doing in case he really said pooch. I'm just sayin'
For the record, I did think twice and stopped short of describing my last visit to the gynecologist to some random dude. But, seriously, perhaps next time he could just say "dog"?
Some words are just wrong. Like Fanny Pack. Fanny means something altogether different and rather rude back home in England. I used to work for Barnes & Noble and had to order fanny packs for the workers. I felt so dirty!
I would have still acted offended, like, "hey I know my tummy is a little bloated but I wouldn't call it a pooch" at least he didn't ask about your cat!
In Australia we call erasers rubbers and use them not to erase things, but to rub them out.
Imagine my American boss's horror when I asked him for a rubber as I needed to rub something out!!! He got this odd look on his face until I translated into American!!!
It's hard to imagine two friends who are less alike. While we live in the same town and are married to guys who grew up together, one of us has a daughter while the other has a son. One of us works full-time while the other stays home and dabbles in a bunch of part-time gigs. One of has lots of adventures but not enough time to blog about them, while the other leads a more boring life and has plenty of time to write about it. One thing we do have in common is our sense of humor... and the knowledge that we're funny. Very funny. See if you agree...
We also have some pretty funny readers. Leave your comments (funny or otherwise), especially if it includes references to how fast we look like we've lost the baby weight.
