Moshi Moshi?

My dear sister Rebecca, informally known as Yang Chan, had a tale to tell this afternoon during our phone conversation. Due to some degree of embarrassment, some time elapsed between the event and its re-enactment.

Rebecca missed me so she phoned one afternoon...

***ring, ring***
Moshi moshi? (usual Japanese telephone greeting)
Crystal?
Moshi mosh?
Uh, Riccardo?
Sumimasen?
May I speak to Crystal please?
Moshi moshi?
Is Crystal there?
Sumima...
Riccardo, can you please put Crystal on the phone?
Moshi mosh?
Riccardo, seriously, is Crystal home?
Moshi moshi?
Christ Riccardo, I don't even know you! Can you please put my sister on the phone!?
Gomen nasai...
Is she there?!
Moshi mosh?
Oh... Shit!
Moshi mo-
***click***

In her telling, this conversation lasted several minutes. Before realizing that she had dialed the wrong number a slew of profanity was hurtled at who was assumed to be my boyfriend. Uh, sorry Japanese person. Sorry Riccardo.

Sidenote: "moshi" is hilariously similar to "mushi," which, in German, means vagina.

***ring, ring***
Vagina, vagina?
