sorry what?, misunderstanding. Options

[Saeglopur]

Okay. My cousins are English Speaking American Kids (well, I am too.. but I wasn't born here) and they don't speak a bit of Filipino. Now my mom and my nanny aren't good at english.. and if you talk to them in English so fast .. then.. well, they'll misunderstand you. Like..

[example 1]
My cousin: Where is the bathroom?
My nanny: ! *goes and grabs a glass cup*
My cousin: ?
My mom: [in filipino: bisaya] He said where's the bathroom.
My nanny: [in filipino: bisaya] Oh... I thought he said baso (which is glass cup in filipino: bisaya)

[example 2]
My cousin: Tita Bing, do you have a pen I can use?
My mom: What?
My cousin: Do you have a pen I can use?
My mom: No... we don't have pineapple juice.
Me: *cracks up*
My mom: Wait, what'd he say?
Me: Do. You. Have. A. Pen. I. Can. Use? *slowly*
