Today while out with Carol she mentioned she had helped her daughter out with her first child by purchasing her a "prahm" or a "chair pusher." I asked her what the heck that was and we finally figured out together she was meaning a "stroller." I love listening to her speak. She is from Scotland and has lived in South Africa for 17 years before coming to Hong Kong. Sometimes I just have to ask her "what." She also calls the garage a "gair - age" (pronounced phonetically). I love this woman.

Isn't it funny the different ways words are used? Flat v. apartment, loo v. bathroom, lift v. elevator - yeah, why are American words so much LONGER? There may be something wrong with us :)
