auntiemeeshMy vocabulary is expanding since I've moved up here to northern New Hampshire. I'm going to a Christmas party next weekend and we're doing a Yankee Swap. What the heck is that? I had to ask. Something like a Chinese Auction? Everyone in the room looked at me blankly. A what? they said.
In another instance, today as I was leaving the cafeteria (I have an early break so I grabbed a bite of breakfast), I saw the lunchlady put up the menu board for today. At the top of the board was listed: Chinese Pie w/salad. What is Chinese pie, I asked her, all curious about this new item I'd never heard of before. Shephard's pie, she answered. Oh, okay. I know what that is.
We speak the same language, but sometimes we're barely able to understand one another. So, it's time for a poll.
