You know, a good fail is a fail that brings something useful. Be it knowledge, a lesson learned or even some nice laughs. Today was very much a fail day for me. Language fail day. For my mother also.
First, my mom asks if I potatoed the salts (salted the potatoes). Then she asks if I cheated on the potatoes. Alatises = you salted, Apatises = you cheated, in Greek. Then I told her my fit blouses well instead of my blouse fits well.
And then the mega-fail of the day came along. The one where I gave a friend on Facebook a very... uhm... unique book suggestion for Halloween.
