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.
Would love to read a spin-off off Tabula Colton.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of that series.
