I went to a sports shop today to try to get an LED light for my bike. A shop assistant popped right up and asked if I need help. Normally I just say that I'm only looking and then I get left alone. Today, though, I was feeling bold.
"Yes, I need a bike light, an LED one (said el ay day, magyar style)."
"What? El ay day?"
AHHH! My brain went. How could that not work? "Um, yes. It's a type of light. El ay day."
He stared at me.
I stammered, "El ay day. A bike light. A type of bike light. Maybe we could just go and look at them?"
He stared some more. I stared back. The gears visibly ground in both our heads.
After what seemed like three weeks, he jumped slightly and near shouted, "AH! LED-es! (led like Ted, plus esh)."
I was thrilled. "Igen!! LEDes!!"
And then we spontaneously high fived. Life is pretty awesome sometimes.
