Poem
Elena is a visiting nurse, she's
also my sister in law.
She shared a story with me,
that practically dropped my jaw.

She didn't mention this couple's
name, there are privacy laws.
But she shared a story about,
this oriental man that took some
ba__'s

Don't get me wrong they were
a nice couple that had some 
medical needs.
Elena was there to help, take 
care of her patient, provide some
medical assistance and oversee.

She got to know the family and
became good friends.
There was one little problem
there was a language barrier
both didn't understand.

It was frustrating for Elena
trying to communicate with
this older man. 
Wung would make up words
and Elena would nod her head
to make him think she'd
comprehend.

I guess she nodded because
she didn't want to hurt his
feelings to show that she 
didn't have a clue to what
he was talking about.
She just didn't understand
Chinese, no way no how.

One day Wung asked her, "You
like ucky chicken?" She 
replied, "What?" He asked
again, "You like ucky chicken?"

He told her, "You comma with me!"
He took Elena in the kitchen took
out a frying pan, some cooking oil,
and a chicken for her to see.

He put the frying pan on the
burner, slammed the chicken in
the cooking oil, and said
"ucky chicken, ucky chicken!"

Elena looked at this Old man
trying desperately to understand.
Elena said, "Oh you mean fried 
chicken!" He said, "yes!" "Yes!" "ucky
chicken, ucky chicken!"
He said, "You aaaaamericans ucky chicken in the hottttt oilllllll!"
Meaning to say. You Americans fry chicken in the hot oil.
 
Elena practically fell on the floor
laughing for what she had heard.
In his words he thought he was
saying fried chicken but his actual
words said, well you get the picture.
                  LOL!
