warm, worms.....warm worms...?

Ahhh...so I have an accent...who knew. Hubby said he forgot to drink his Red Bull, so he was going to leave it in the car. I told him he should drink it, because it will get warm. He thought I said "worm". We agreed we often get lost on each other's accents. Albanian is phonetic. Each letter is pronounced ONE way, mostly. If you know how to pronounce the letters you can pretty much say the words. Of course there are some letters that make sounds that don't exist in English, so Americans tend to fall flat when trying to pronounce them. And many American ways of pronouncing things are very difficult for Albanians, and our mixed up ways of pronouncing the same letters all sorts of ways are confusing. It certainly makes for colorful conversations :)
