Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.</li></ul><ul><li>Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”</li></ul><ul><li>Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.</li></ul><ul><li>Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.</li></ul><ul><li>Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.</li></ul><ul><li>Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “<i><b>Is</b></i> there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.</li></ul><ul><li>Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into <i>“What stressing!”</i> </li></ul><p>Bilingual characters are great but if you’re going to use a linguistic blunder, you have to really understand what they actually blunder over. And it’s usually 10x funnier than “Ooops it’s hard to switch back.”</p> </blockquote> <p><a class="tumblelog" href="https://tmblr.co/mMGyHC0XsRhqcoVPV4cgPfQ">@gayer-than-youu-are</a> </p> </blockquote> <p><a class="tumblelog" href="https://tmblr.co/moAuWzvsWH9oJYwgvZ3HSrA">@pinebon</a> </p> </blockquote>http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175283095824http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175283095824Tue, 26 Jun 2018 17:16:45 -0400 <video id='embed-5b32dce4c78d6728260918' class='crt-video crt-skin-default' width='400' height='500' poster='https://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_p715prxABJ1shb0bo_smart1.jpg' preload='none' muted data-crt-video data-crt-options='{"autoheight":null,"duration":30,"hdUrl":false,"filmstrip":{"url":"http://78.media.tumblr.com/previews/tumblr_p715prxABJ1shb0bo_filmstrip.jpg","width":"200","height":"250"}}' > <source src="https://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/video_file/t:xuzvOV2fxFls_m3LhCZ6nQ/175282999734/tumblr_p715prxABJ1shb0bo/480" type="video/mp4"> </video> <br/><br/><p><a href="https://s4ns1cal.tumblr.com/post/175264588287/her-little-hop-omg" class="tumblr_blog">s4ns1cal</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Her little hop omg </p></blockquote>http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175282999734http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175282999734Tue, 26 Jun 2018 17:13:21 -0400<p>the all of it</p>http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175282827499http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175282827499Tue, 26 Jun 2018 17:07:23 -0400<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/a9f7bbb91f9ccb687cd6d794ae9dee08/tumblr_pashe5mOOB1uu0565o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://meathorse.tumblr.com/post/175178637520/direct-action" class="tumblr_blog">meathorse</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>direct action</p></blockquote>http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175282803869http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175282803869Tue, 26 Jun 2018 17:06:33 -0400<p><a href="http://jezunya.tumblr.com/post/170017922099/commanderfraya-egberts-cats-dont-understand" class="tumblr_blog">jezunya</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://commanderfraya.tumblr.com/post/119583457209/egberts-cats-dont-understand-what-it-means" class="tumblr_blog">commanderfraya</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://egberts.tumblr.com/post/119581883890" class="tumblr_blog">egberts</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>cats don’t understand what it means when you give them kisses ):</p></blockquote> <p>good news tho!!  they understand it 2 a point (i was distraught about this post so i looked it up)</p> <p>cats don’t kiss like humans but <a href="http://pets.thenest.com/cats-kisses-are-8179.html">they do appreciate human touch and feel loved when u kiss and pet them</a></p> <p><a href="http://pets.thenest.com/cat-kiss-hug-means-11262.html">they don’t understand kisses but they accept them as forms of affection n love</a></p> <p>ur cat knows u love them</p> </blockquote> <p>You can also help them understand by mixing kisses with rubbing your cheek/nose/forehead over the top of their head, their cheek, or down their shoulders, just like cats rub against each other and humans to show affection. Also gently bonking foreheads to imitate the ‘I love you please pet me’ headbutt. Brushing &amp; scratching at itchy spots for them imitates the grooming that cats who live together in colonies do for each other. Basically just try to find hygienic ways of imitating cat social behaviors, short of actual licking, lol. </p> <p>My cat will touch her nose to mine &amp; rub her cheek across my face, which allows me to plant a kiss on her cheek. When she’s sitting in my lap, she’ll tip her head back until I lean down and kiss or nuzzle the top of her head. I’ve even found her occasionally trying to imitate the “mwah!” sound of my kisses, where she’ll nuzzle my face and make little chirping “mah! mah!” sounds. Cats are pretty smart little social creatures; they’ll figure out how to speak your language, especially if you put in the effort to speak theirs. </p> </blockquote>http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175282764994http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175282764994Tue, 26 Jun 2018 17:05:09 -0400<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/c8ce4bbfabe2a1c7064a692f4009b6ad/tumblr_paxmm8dJqg1sn75h6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://awwww-cute.tumblr.com/post/175271980112/tiny-bengal-kitten-source" class="tumblr_blog">awwww-cute</a>:</p><blockquote><p>Tiny Bengal Kitten (Source: <a href="https://ift.tt/2K9wDv5">https://ift.tt/2K9wDv5</a>)</p></blockquote>http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175272104729http://fireplacealpaca.tumblr.com/post/175272104729Tue, 26 Jun 2018 09:54:01 -0400<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/68d7469d8bd94f20e446f3531624d238/tumblr_p7mfmu6Pvr1u4d1qzo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/cdd6fa8ed977e2e757de1b22c0e9a75d/tumblr_p7mfmu6Pvr1u4d1qzo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://jerryterry.tumblr.com/post/175271600002/cottoncandy-artguess-who-just-got-back-today" class="tumblr_blog">jerryterry</a>:</p><blockquote> <p><a href="http://cottoncandy-art.tumblr.com/post/173215896778/guess-who-just-got-back-today" class="tumblr_blog">cottoncandy-art</a>:</p> <blockquote><p class="npf_chat">guess who just got back today? </p></blockquote> <p>holy SHIT i did not see these til now cos i very rarely check my tag<br/><br/>I love ‘em!
