That's funny. I'd like to translate the mother to Mongolian. When a Mongolian woman is well and truly pissed off (not, pissed as in England. I was so pissed I pissed in the fridge, thinking it was the loo) but anyway, I digress. When a Mongolian woman speaks to another in an angry fashion it sounds like two cats having a fight in a bag. Just saying.
My wife having an animated conversation with her mother sounds the same way. I come flying out of the shower, thinking there's an intruder, and she's sitting on the couch, laughing at something my mother-in-law said.
It's funny, both of us think that the other comes from a rude and intrusive culture.
I'm Paul B and I'm a professional mariner and former but still occasionally a marine scientist. From commercial fishing in New England starting from age 8 to crewing on the largest ships in the world, to working on coastwise tugboats and oil barges. I married a Brazilian beauty queen and don't get to see her enough.
