Read my lips, gums, and what teeth you can find. |
I asked you twice and I'll ask you again, this time please just answer me instead of staring blankly at me.
I'm exercising maximum articulation here, I'm using frantic hand gestures, and I'm even asking nicely. So what's the problem? Am I gurgling marbles? Is my jabberhole anaesthetized?
So I'll re-reiterate, "Eeeut er ahaham..." Get it this time? Why are you looking at me like that? As far as I can tell I said it exactly like you do. Granted, I look puzzled when you say it, but you're supposed to know what it means.
This is just crazy. Can I hire an interpreter? I'll admit that English isn't my first language, okay, and I struggle with it a bit. Best guess around town has my first language pegged as Kung Fu, but I can't remember where I learned to speak it. No point getting fickle about my background. It does feel totally natural to speak it though, and it is really therapeutic at times.
I've been working daily, and diligently, I might add, on my language skills. Clearly this isn't enough effort to please you people, is it? What's next, are you going to ask me to dress myself or stop using the bottle?
Maybe I'll just stop talking altogether. Let's see how that pleases you. Want something done right, I guess I'll have to do it myself. Of course, I'm not going to do that. For one thing I've simply got too much to say. And, for another I really don't feel like doing a whole lot for myself.
