Ever have one of those times when you think someone will get it, but they absolutely don't?
This actual language-based lost in translation came up that I thought was hilarious:
I know I've had other situations where I forget that others are not as hyper focused on the things that I am, and humor ensues.
Now I remember one - a very mild one anyway. Last summer, a business person I work with arrived at my back porch and had to step around a dirty, decaying chicken bone. I bury my kitchen scraps, including bones, and it had been dug up by a critter and left in front of my steps. When I explained, they did their best not to give me a disgusted or blank stare. Ha!
