Funny story from Porto!

So this week we were in a lesson with a recent convert of ours and she got a call from her daughter in the middle of our lesson from her daughter who lives in spain. So then we were asking how she was, etc. And then out of the blue, this lady was like, minha filha era meu filho. Ela era um homen. or in english, my daughter used to be my son. She used to be a man. I was like, am i just not hearing this right? is my portuguese understanding this correctly? And then this lady went to get pictures to show us and sister Brooks looked over at me with this look of being absolutely weirded out and i about just died laughing. it was all we could do to keep from laughing as she showed us the photos. Then as we left for our next appointment, we were talking about how crazy the portuguese are, and as we turned a corner of an apartment building, we see a lady out in front, walking her pet DUCK. we about died again.Oh portugal.
