    Uh no it's more like you're just stupid... E's and V's sound the same on the phone like Ms and Ns because of what the phone is capable of.
  • TheBladeRoden
    Yes, her son's name could be Kaev for all she knows

    This is the worst part about living in China! I speak Chinese fine, and I have 0 problems communicating until it comes to letters. One time I was booking plane tickets over the phone and it took 5 minutes to say the 8 letter booking code because I absolutely could not understand what letters she was saying. Spelling my name for them also took a really long time. ugghhh
  • Oh my. I would drive myself crazy if I continually do this with every letter in my name. Just get your mom some hearing aid... or teach her how to differentiate letters. :D
  • Bebe
    wow is it just me or do all asian parents choose the same names for each letter....?

    I think what's funny is the finals somehow overshadow any discussion of the broken finger.
  • kevin (not the one above)
    well i think the whole A-like-Apple thing is reasonable, especially if you can't hear well or whatever. i think it's more funny that the mom doesn't know how to spell the first half of her son's name!
  • kio

    "A like-a APPLE??? P like PETER."
