Pie-eyed in Pennsylvania


Dear Auntie,

The Amish girl who sells homemade pies at the bingo hall just told me she'll blow me for my smartphone.I don't have a question---I just wanted you to know I might not be able to read your column for awhile...
Signed,
Pie-eyed in Pennsylvania

Dear Pie-eyed,
That term has a different translation for the Dutch. You might want to reconsider. At any rate, do not, under any circumstances, go near the horses.

  1. A smartphone means something else to the Dutch too. It means you don't have to hold the can so tightly to talk.
