But instead I replied her, "Oh arigatou!"... And it was followed by silence, then giggles. Finally one of my friends told me that Kawaiso ne means "poor you", and said I must have thought it means I'm cute or something since it's got the word "Kawai" in it like "Kawaii.." Precisely the reason for me to have said "Arigatou". ^^; Good thing they told me what was wrong with my response - instead of holding it back. Phew. Ok I think I'll just have a go :)

When I was in 6th grade, during my Geography class, I stared to hiccup. So, I asked my teacher if I could get some water because I had "hikuri". And she was like: Eh?! At that moment, I didn't realize I had used the wrong language, and just replied saying I needed to get some water. She just said go, then. Observation: I'm Brazilian, but all my four granparents are from Japan, therefore, in my house, we didn't really use the portuguese word for hiccups, only "hikuri"...

My group had staged an argument between a mother and daughter where the daughter storms out of the house and goes to stay with her friend a few blocks away. I was playing the part of the daughter, so when my friend asked me why I showed up at her door after midnight, I thought I was saying: 　 お母さんとけんかしました。 What was actually coming out of my mouth was: お母さんと結婚しました。 My friend stifled a snort when Sensei shook her head at me rather vigorously. I didn’t understand, so I repeated the phrase again. At which point the room simply dissolved into laughter. My friends took great pleasure in informing me that I had married my mother. :p Sometime during my first year class in college, Sensei had us put together a skit to send to our pen pals (We had regular video correspondence with English students attending a Japanese university).
