Oui? Hai? ... Si!

First day back at work. It's hectic, and I feel flustered. Tried to do some teaching with the Spanish-speaking family of one of my patients. Totally confused between Spanish and French. At one point I was trying to say "yes."

"Oui." Oh, I know that's not right. Try again.

"Hai." Nope, not that one either.

Wait for it ...

"Si!" That's it! Bingo! Ding ding ding!

It's going to be a long day.
