Lost in Translation

Today I'm going to keep it short. So, this morning one of my student's mom (who by the way is really cute) asked me a question which I couldn't believe at first, but then I had to use my "UCLA Japanese Translation skills" to find out what she was trying to ask.

First, she was trying to ask me "Do you have a lover?" but you know how Japanese people can't tell the difference between L and R (oh and another thing, there is no "V" in the Japanese language so they just use "B" instead). So... that's right your guessed it, I thought I was hearing her ask "Do you have a rubber?" I didn't know what to say, a parent was asking me if I carry a condom around. I mean I didn't know how to react. Then I calmed down, and realized that she said lover.

Side Note: Now that I kind of think about it, it's a little strange that she asked if I had a lover.
