Lost in Translation

Elijah spent a Saturday and Sunday morning with our friends Andre and Jene Rice for our anniversary last night (Thanks guys). Before Elijah left our house Eddie gave him a briefing...it went a little something like this:
- If you go to the store with them, you don't need anything and you don't want anything!

- Behave as if we were with you

- And most importantly: Do NOT talk Mr. and Mrs. Rice to death (Elijah loooooves to talk...I mean about anything that pops into his mind and to anyone that will lend 1/2 of a listening ear - asking questions he knows the answer to already is a BIG one for him also)


Andre took Elijah to a local Japanese grocery store. While walking around Elijah asked Andre, "What are Begetables?"

Andre replied, "Elijah, you know what vegetables are."

Elijah then said, "No, I know what vegetables are, but what are begetables?"

Check out the picture!!

Kim L. - This one was especially for you!

That is awesome... What's the deal, though. Are they trying to make it English, or what... I mean, how hard is it to look up? haha?

Yeah - I think the 'v' is hard for them to pronounce becuase it is not a sound in the Japanese language.
