Each in their own tongue

Sis. Kerry Jo and her companion are currently out shopping for the Korean New Year and run into a little bit of a language barrier!

The back story on this cartoon is that I had almost this exact same conversation when I served as a missionary in Korea.  There was a guy who insisted he couldn't understand me even though we were both speaking Korean (and by that time, my language skills were good). Like Sis. Kerry Jo, I told him about my family in Canada, and asked if we could speak in Canadian. He replied that he didn't know any Canadian, so I suggested we try speaking in Korean. He agreed, and from then on we didn't have any trouble. Go figure!
