1) So we have been looking around the local market for Oatmeal. We went into an Indian supermarket just for fun one day to see what they had. We inquired of the shopkeeper if he had any oatmeal. His facial expression twisted into a very confused and bewildered one and finally responded, "no, but I have cat food in cans."
2) Today one of the school kids asked Rachelann for "a rubber." In America "a rubber" is a slang term for a condom. Rachelann probed further and asked for what he wanted the rubber for. "For school" came the reply. Aghast at this thought Rachelann said, "No way! I'm NOT giving you a rubber for school!" The child realized he wasn't getting his point across to this foreign person who seemed to not understand him. So he made a hand motion with his hand to try and demonstrate what he wanted. Rachelann realized she might have the wrong idea as to his request and finally asked him, "what's a rubber?" An older kid nearby piped up, "a pencil eraser for the back of the pencil."
