This happened a few years back in Florence. I was with Aria who was living there at the time. We were going for our daily "gelato" fix. On this day I was feeling pretty ambitious and stated proudly, "I think I can order by myself today." The two flavors I intended to order were "Bacio" meaning "kiss" and "Pesca" meaning "peach". When it was time to give my order I smiled at the guy behind the counter and said confidently, "Vorrei "un braccio" e un "pesce" per favore!" The guy gave me a very odd look and my daughter nudged me and said, "Mom you just ordered an ARM and a FISH!"

Barb, this sounds so much like my attempts at speaking Italian.....using followed by blank looks, and polite requests that I repeat myself!
