Lost in Translation

On my second night with my host family I became very sick. My stomach was killing me, I had a fever, and I felt dizzy. I also had trouble communicating so I decided to just use the computer. Glorianna, my host sister, typed "La mama......."and the computer translated "My breast (which is one meaning) will give you something." The pain went away at that point. I was ecstatic that it was so easy, until I realized she meant that her mom was just giving me some medicine.
