WRITING PROMPT

Time For Tea? Need to Pee?

Hilarious yet innocent mistakes with English

Coming to Canada from down under Twice, words used caused quite the blunder I’d invited my neighbours over for tea What happened, I did not quite foresee They’d already eaten their supper Thinking they were coming just for a cuppa!

Tea, in kiwi-speak, is the evening meal My neighbours did not immediately reveal Instead, they politely ate Only weeks later did she articulate They’d almost burst from eating two meals I was mortified and felt quite the heel!

The other funny is related to eliminating We all use the toilet — that needs no translating So, when I was asked where the bathroom was I wondered what could be the cause Of needing to wash or use that room — unless of course, they needed to groom

I quickly found out it’s the polite way to ask If you need to pee or do the #2 task It was a separate room back in N-Zed So you can understand why I misread If you need to poop or do a wee-wee The toilet sounds crass, I now can see!

I have to first thank my dear friend Karen Schwartz for her delightful ‘Tongue, You Can’t Have It Both Ways’ poem this morning that had my mind in a spin the second after I finished reading.

But of course, thanks also must go to the ever-inspiring Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for her amazing prompts that I keep missing because I didn’t sign up; duh! (I now have, Lucy!) I invite everyone to share their funny stories related to her latest prompt.

Laughter is the best medicine!
