Your say - Lost for words 3l126w

Indecent proposal 1d5o68

My then Spanish boyfriend wanted to be more independent with his Greek language skills so he asked me to wait outside while he was buying a chocolate milk. I had given him the correct money and told him to ask Poso kani? How much does it cost? Being Spanish his accent was perfect but he decided to add an extra s on the word kani which then translated into how much do you cost! After about two minutes I walked in only to see a rather bemused shop assistant and my boyfriend still not realising what went wrong!
