Why I Confused Die Hard with Braveheart (And What It Says About Trading Communication)
I told my Ukrainian husband we should watch a Christmas movie. I said “Die Hard.” He heard “Braveheart.”
Next thing I know, I’m watching Mel Gibson ride horses through Scotland instead of Bruce Willis crawling through air ducts.
And yes, I know Die Hard is barely a Christmas movie to begin with. But Braveheart? We went from questionably festive to full medieval warfare.
This is what happens when there’s a language barrier in your marriage.
