Newbie

I know that Julie got here a few days ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting this funny story that happened to her in the grocery store on Wednesday.

I was getting bread and this lady came up to her and started asking her where the crushed nuts were. Of course, she can't speak Portuguese, so I jumped in and started talking to the lady.
Me: Talk to me; she doesn't speak Portuguese.
Random lady (RL): Oh, okay. You mean she hasn't learned anything from you?
Me: Well, she just got here this morning.
RL: Oh, well she'll be speaking a lot by the time she leaves. I'm sure she'll learn.

When she walked away, I of course shared our conversation with Julie, who said, "Wow. I just got slammed for not speaking Portuguese."
