Communication Problems

Oddly enough, my communication barrier for the week happened on American soil! We took BART home from the airport. (Bay Area Rapid Transit) When we arrived at our stop, we took the elevator down to the main level. There were two black girls in the elevator keeping warm while they, I assumed, waited for a ride. One of them asked me where we had traveled from. I told her we had just come from China. She said, "China! What were you doing there?" I said, "Just playin' " She looked at me strangely and said, "Ya'll old people have a strange sense of humor. I thought you really did go to China." I said, "No, I didn't mean I was "playin' " you. We really did go to China. We went to play, to have fun!" LOL I still am not sure she believed me. lol
