Samoan Slip Up

Sometimes, I'll speak in Samoan so that only Jaime and the kids know what I'm saying. Unfortunately, my childrens' Samoan skills are even worse than mine. Still... I randomly catch myself accidentally speaking Samoan.

The cashier at the Pump-N-Go shot me a strange look today after I slipped a "Faafetai" upon receiving $0.53 in change.

The strangers at Carabbas may have thought I was filled with the Holy Ghost when I slipped by and started mumbling "Tulo" the other night.

In my mind, I'm being polite. Unfortunately, people probably think I'm crazy.

old habits, die hard.

    that's pretty kool that you still have some of those habits but they'll soon fade...i remember watching your video at Xmas of the lil ones singing "we wish u a merry xmas" in samoan and that was cute....soon those will all be memories and they'll forget those songs...but the memories will hopefully live on forever.....we have those same memories growing up back on tutuila even if its been decades .... =)

    it was always kool, to read your posts and see things from your perspective ....

    fai fai lemu out there in No Carolina and Ia Manuia Lou Aiga atoa ....peace and blessings
