Funny Things

There have been so many simple things that are lost in translation even in the English language. The older, A, went to school and asked for an eraser. The rest of the class said "A whaaaa???" The teacher knew what she needed. Here it's called a rubber! So A comes home and says Mummy, what's a rubber?!??! Well....... that depends on where you are dear child. If you go back to The States and say teacher I need a rubber, I'll get a call from the principal..  These are the difference we are learning.. There are no "restrooms" here only toilets. Fries are chips, chips are crisps, cookies are biscuits are biscuits just don't exists here. I think if I could create a true, really bonafide biscuit and gravy here in the UK, I'd be a bizillionaire. Biscuits are are so savory and delicious with warm butter and jam. Anywho! yes, it's a toilet and no it's not a rubber,.
