While waiting at a stop light today, Sam turned to me and said:
"Did you know that you plus me equals corn?" I smiled and replied:
"What, did you read that on someone's shirt?"
"No, I just thought of it now." was his answer. After thinking about it for a second I realized he meant 玉米. (yu mi) pronouced like: "you me" which in English means corn. Well now I won't forget that word ever again....and you probably won't either! Now if only I could think of a funny way to remember every Chinese word.
