Sight seeing and New Series

A's mom wanted to do some shopping so A took us all way out to a big outlet mall with a casino next to it. He dropped off me and his mom at the outlets (the two people who do NOT speak the same language) and he went with his dad to the casino next to it. 

His mom speaks a little English, just enough to confuse me. I just kept smiling and nodding. She made me try on clothes and bought some for me. I kept telling her no, too generous, thank you, but she kept finding at least one thing for me at every store she went into that had guy clothes. I got dragged into some lady shops too. I tried to help her find the things she wanted and I carried stuff for her until we found the locker place where they hold things. 

A tried to have fun, but he kept texting me because the tracker app on his phone wasn't updating with me moving around. I think the area just had bad reception out in the desert. Plus he felt bad about leaving me alone with his mom since we don't share a language. 

It was funny though, at one point she was trying to show me something for A and she kept saying his name, but pronouncing it in the very Persian way which sounds very different to me. I had no idea what she was saying because she added other Persian words around it and I got confused. So then she pointed at my chest and then made this ring with her hands and put it on her head like she was saying "Your king." I was like... what the... what? haha. Then I finally got it and yelled his name. She nods yes yes and hugged me. She's very huggy with me. 

Then she tried to say it like I say it, but kept laughing. I then realized I'm butchering her child's name. She tried to teach me to say it like she does. I practiced it later with A and he just looked at me weird and shook his head. "No, Emi. Say it like you normal do it." I guess he likes the way I pronounce it. Maybe it's the difference between American A and Persian A. I guess that's why he never teaches me any Persian.

I'm working on a new series! It will be a spin off of Tabula Colton but set ten-fifteen years down the road with a new set of twins. We will get to see what became of Colton and Julian and Jackson and the other boys as grownups.
