Communication Breakdown

It's always fun to try to communicate with someone from a foreign country, especially when neither of you speak the other's language fluently, and especially over the phone where you can no longer make use of the all-important hand gestures. So, today, Jeff called one of our friends in Brazil to firm up some travel arrangements. With the business portion of the call taken care of, our friend asked about me and the kids and then said, "Jeff, I have many girls for you." Jeff, quite baffled by this statement, began trying to find out what our friend meant by this. Finally, he was able to ascertain that our friend was talking about the fact that he had lined up several ladies to help us with the children while we are there. Too bad, Jeff, doesn't look like there will be any Brazilian hotties waiting for just you at the airport!
