The Lessons Were Worth It
I took Mandarin lessons when I was in school, so I understand a decent amount of the language. I walked into an elevator with a Chinese couple talking. After I clicked the button for my floor, I heard them talking about me and the conversation went like this.
Wife: “He’s brown, but doesn’t smell brown.”
Husband: “Yeah, usually they smell really bad.”
Wife: “Kind of like fish or curry. Are they dirty?”
At this point I begin to start laughing because I can understand what they’re saying. But its awkward because there’s no one else there and I’m not wearing headphones so I could only be laughing at them unless I’m crazy.
Wife: “Do you think he can understand us?”
Husband: “Stop talking.”
Those lessons were so worth it. Uncensored people are the best.
