Posted this before in bilingual, but it deserves a wider audience..
My dad recently stated that my lovely 2 year old was acting like a cat, 'giving heads'.... (the Dutch expression 'kopjes geven' describes the way cats nudge you with their head)
That one had me under the table... (and blush at having to try and explain to him why!)
Anyone else have any good mistranslations?
