So my mom (Shawn) has this friend named Ben who's Ukrainian. He does not understand the concept of a personal filter; he will say whatever he pleases and the idea that he might offend someone never even crosses his mind. This makes for some very entertaining conversations. Here's one they had the other day that I thought was too funny and had to share. (It's much funnier if you picture Ben speaking with a heavy russian accent):
Ben: So. Katya like this husband?
Shawn: yes Ben. That's why she married him.
Ben: Why this boy no come help you clean your house?
Shawn: Because he's very sick Ben.
Ben: Why Katya marry this sick boy? Why no marry healthy boy?
Shawn: Because she loves him. She doesn't care that he's sick.
Ben: well why Katya no come clean your house?
Shawn: Because Katya very sick too Ben.
Ben: This good then. They take care each other.
Shawn: Glad to you know you approve, Ben.

Ha ha!! That's too good!
haha, that's funny. i can see my fam saying something like this. not having a personal filter is a kind of a sense of humor russian people have. i still have a hard time explaining some of the jokes they make to mike, he doesn't find them very funny, maybe because they are usually about his chubby cheeks. lol.
