the nerves & the lisp

As if arriving in Spain wasn't stressful enough with my nerves spiking, mi mamá was not present during the pick up of us lovely Americans.  I could not, for the life of me, understand much of what mi mamá was saying the first day.  Talk about language barrier.  It didn't help that I  was zoning out and not paying attention.  I was exhausted and hungry. But to my surprise (y gracias a Dios!) I could understand her better the next day!

I'm not at all used to the lisp with the "th" sound. I though i'd be okay cuz I've heard it before but I didn't expect to be this lost at all. Tonight mi mamá y yo were talking while she was preparing me dinner and was asking if i'd like this or that.  She asked me if i wanted "pitha" (English pronunciation "pee-tha") ...it was the "th" sound so in my head I was like"pisa? ...floor?...what?" I could not for the life of me figure it out. So she take out "pizza" so show me. OHHHHHHH!  I told her i was still getting th hang of this stuff.
