LIKE AN ONION

Today at lunch, I was eating with my host dad and Carlos was at the little table by the couches. And it was pretty cold, but my Northface was too much so I took it off.. and my host dad was like 'You're hot?'

And I was like 'No, it's just that I have too many...' but I didn't really know how to say layers so he was just like 'Cosas?' and I was like sure!

AND THEN CARLOS SAID SOMETHING THAT SOUNDED LIKE THIS:

'Leek un oh-nee-ohn!' 

With this big smile on his face, proud of himself, looking at me. And I was like ummm? And he said it again, LEEK UN OHNEEOHN. Then, upon seeing my confusion, he laughs and says 'Como una cebolla' to translate. APPARENTLY HE HAD BEEN SAYING 'Like an onion!' in English, after I said I had too many layers.

IT WAS CUTE/FUNNY.

HE REALLY DID TRY. hahahah
