My mother immigrated to Canada from Scotland. She found the billboards advertising “Drink Canada Dry” very confusing. Like, how?

My American dad will eat whatever my Japanese mom puts in front of him. He’s eating a delicious fruit pie my mom said was celery. It was Sara Lee

My son was famous for things like this as a kid. One of my all time favorites is “Gross Birds” - Growth Spirts. 😂😂😂

my mom always said she didn't want to be in ball. We just thought is was a mistranslation when not speaking your 1st language. We were in our 20s when we figured out it meant involved! We felt silly!

My mom doesn’t have a strong accent (to me) but she does have a pretty bad name recollection. She called Andrea Bocelli “Chipotle” pretty confidently and we had no idea who she was talking about 😅

I wrote all my wedding invitations out and my mother told me all the family ones were wrong. apparently the names my family used weren't their names. They all go by a different name than their given.

I worked for a Korean family (the nicest family on the planet) and they taught me a lot of Korean words because it was easier than them trying to pronounce English. We learned alot from each other!

I used to tutor math students. One advanced class used the Greek letter lambda a lot. But the professor had an Asian accent, so I had to teach all his students to stop saying "rambda." 😆

my practically deaf mom told me a story about the Finnish Rescue Mission, and was adamant that I was incorrect that it was actually called the Phoenix Rescue Mission.

My Palestinian family had no idea my legal first name is the very American name given to me by my American mom, until I was applying for an ID card in Jordan at the age of 21

I had a friend whose name was RISK but my mom called him RICK and he literally was like "YES I AM RICK" and would never correct her so to this day, she still thinks his name is Rick.

Omg I love this story so much. 😂 There’s a road nearby called Lagrange and it wasn’t until I was a teenager did I know it was Lagrange. I thought it was Lock-rage because my umma called it that. 😂

I had an uncle that I know my entire life called uncle Frank. I only found out in my thirties he wasn't actually related to me and he was just an old neighbour of my grandmother's
