language barrier

i was on the phone with my second mom.  she joined our household when i was still a baby and took care of us siblings while my mom was at the office.  she retired in 2009 and has been staying in the province since then.

just a while back, i heard my sister on the phone with her going, 'tagalog, ma, tagalog...  i can't understand you...'

apparently she was talking to her in visayan.

i burst out chuckling.

well, what do you know, just a few minutes later i would find myself echoing my sister's request as she started talking to me in visayan as well.  wahaha...  i was a combination amused and frustrated...  : }

hmmm...  when all else fails, use the language of the heart...  ♥
