please don't feel bad when I first moved to this state and city 12 years ago the language her was just so new to me and my son for instance the first night here oon the way home from the airport she asked me and my child if we were hungry we could stop somewhere for a pop and so on. well my son started crying... His aunt would say to her kids- do you want a pop and the disrespectful child would say no and the aunt would say to her child - then knock it off and sometimes that warning/threat was not enought and the child would recieve a spank on the butt. So my child thought - pop - out here was a spank and not a soda. There was just so many new phrases and meaning that for the first three months my son and I just kind of agreed no matter what. LOL luckily my friend knew me well enough to rephrase in my other state language and phrasing on important issues so I knew what was going on in those situations.

Foolish of you no. the only way we know what things are is if we ask right. keep asking those questions when you don't undersand.
