“You like head?”
There she was standing in before me. My Amma, all 5 feet of my sweet Bangladeshi mother-in-law. She’s been in the states now for 18 years and is coming along with learning English swimmingly, but there are certain slang words she will never and should never understand. On the other hand, her sniggering 22 year old son Jissan sitting at the dinner table across from me had become All-American. “Yes Bob” he says with a grin from ear to ear, “My mother wants to know if you like head.”
OK I was ready to play along.
Me: “Ummmm….well….Amma….that’s a bit of a personal question isn’t it?”
Amma: What? Head is good. I like head. You want head?
Me: No thanks Amma, I don’t want it.
Amma: Why not? You will like it. Your father-in-law likes. Jissan likes don’t you?
Jissan: Sure do Mom. I love head! (between giggles)
Amma: You have to suck it.
Then she puts her hand up to her mouth and makes a sucking sound. At which point Jissan: spits his drink out and birst out laughing.
The poor lady was talking about eating the heads of giant shrimp, which I later tried and found out I actually do like head.

I have a similar problem when i have to pretend i don't know words in arabic that are a bit naughty that *SOMEBODY* taught me. But one ramadan dinner *somebody* whispered a word and i nudged him to knock it off bcuz lil kids were around and my bro-in-law looks up surprised and asks *somebody* in arabic "She knows *that word*" LOUDLY STATING THAT WORD. Everyone cracked up laughing but i was sooo embarassed. If you ever tell your mom-in-law what you all were really laughing about i bet she will be so mortified! .....so who's gonna tell her ;) j/k
