"...wait, what?"
Normally, Lana could understand just about anything or anyone. She had developed what she believed to be a good level of objectivity over the years, as well as exceptional listening skills. She liked to think her intuition was better now than it had been in the past, that she could look beyond the actual words and see what was lurking underneath. Vocabulary wasn't a problem, at least not when it came to English, and she could follow along with most scientific or philosophical conversations without issue.
But for the life of her, she couldn't understand what in the world was coming out of this little boy's mouth. It all seemed to run together while at the same time didn't sound connected at all.
"Okay, sweetie, just one more time, I promise."
If she didn't understand it the third time through, she would just smile and nod and tell him how adorable he was. It was all she could do.
