Lost In Translation ,A Real Story

Awaken by a sudden desire I decided to call my sweet american boyfriend with a conflicting grammar and an incorrigible accent I started the long distance conversation . He enquired if I was 'UPSET ' I told me that I was not in the 'TOILET ''Sweetheart I am driving a car 'I interpreted that he was waging a WAR I felt ashamed of my hearing disorder 'Can I text you in the morning ' As he wanted to know His TEXT got messed With SE* in my mind Can you hear me ? Can you hear me ? We wanted to enquire We struggled with each other Twisting our tongue and combing our ears The line was disturbed as we continued the conversation Till we realised that everything was lost in TRANSLATION I tried to make laugh I hope . . .

LOL..... you made this incident seem amusing and endearing. No shame involved with mild lack of understanding.
