my son was about 5 months old, and i was with my congregation (of all places). my son was fussy and crying, so i took him to the back and stood, holding him upright, so he could look over my shoulder.
shortly thereafter, some kid came to the back to use the restroom and get some water, and on his way, he stopped. after he asked how me and my baby were doing, he went around to my backside, took my son's hand and said "este feo...este feo" in a cutesy little baby voice.
i turned around and said, "he's not ugly!"
(mind you...we were speaking in hushed tones)
the kid looked shocked and said "oh...you understand? uhh...err...well, i was only joking." and then he proceeded to the restroom.
i was mad at his comment, but also pretty satisfied that he was embarrassed.
have you surprised someone like this by understanding them when they assumed you would not know what they were saying?
or been surprised yourself when someone understood you?
