The Day I Finally…: Spoke Martian

Idea courtesy of Ginie Murphy on Facebook

I’ve always picked up languages pretty fast. I mean, sometimes, eerily fast. A friend of mine suggested that it might be a psychic ability, and after what happened today, I believe it!

See, I was out hiking through the woods when I saw an actual flying saucer in a clearing. Little green men were walking around gathering samples of plants and such. It was very weird.

Then, as I crept forward for a better look, I tripped over a stone and fell on my face in some stinky mud. Without thinking, I yelled out “Son of a bitch! Shit!”

Except it came out “Sookwut dinvo! Glymza!”

The Martians all jumped and yelled in fright, then ran off. I tried to tell them I meant no harm, but my cries of “Lorm! Salup ta niol!” were ignored.

They were gone within a minute and I went home to clean up. But at least now I can speak Martian!
