I got to meet Josef’s mother today. She’s a woman with a very bubbly personality who greeted me with a huge kiss, called me her beautiful girl, and babbled on in Czech while she pinched my cheeks, smooched me some more and gave me a few more hugs.
A few of her friends came over and I had a very nice afternoon listening to the language and wondering what the hell everyone was talking about. It really reminded me of home, with the aunties and uncles coming over for a few pupu’s and beer, talking about nothing in particular. All in all, it was very pleasant. Had some very good food, drank some beer, and played charades with his sister and mother as the only form of communication we could muster.
I have a feeling that I’m going to get better at this game as I learn more words.
