You ever notice how confusing language can be? I mean, I was talking to this African kid the other day. English isn't his first language, so he's still learning. He says to me, "Why do people say it's raining cats and dogs? Are animals falling from the sky?" I'm there trying to explain idioms, and he's probably thinking, "Why are you guys making weather sound like a zoo disaster?
Talking to this African kid really made me rethink things. He's grown up with a whole different set of experiences. He's like, "You guys have snow days? That's cute. We have 'lion-in-the-street' days." I mean, can you imagine telling your teacher, "Sorry, can't make it to school today, lion traffic jam on my block"?
Ever tried explaining slang to someone from a completely different background? I'm with this African kid, and I'm like, "That movie was sick!" He's looking at me like, "Why would you enjoy an ill movie?" Then I realize, explaining slang is like trying to describe colors to someone born blind. You're just there, stumbling over words, hoping they catch your vibe.
So, this African kid moved into my neighborhood, and we're trying to bond, you know? He's telling me about his favorite foods, and I'm like, "Cool, we should grab some lunch together!" Next thing I know, I'm munching on this insanely spicy dish, tears streaming down my face, while he's just sitting there, cool as a cucumber, saying, "Oh, this? It's nothing, you should try our local fire sauce!
