Last night on the 76 bus after a loonnngggg day, two giggling girls caught my eye. Actually they caught my ear first. They couldn't stop giggling.

I was tired and hungry. It was dark outside. I was trekking home after almost an hour and a half of Bulgarian dance class. And these girls could hardly contain themselves.

The two girls climbed on a stop or two after mine talking and giggling. Then I heard a few "okays." My ears perked up and I realized that they were speaking English. <em>Kind of</em>.

They were laughing and it sounded like they were going through some practice dialogue. A dialogue which included hellos, numbers, okays and some longer harder to understand sentences--these were clearly the hard sentences for the girls too. The result was that the dialogue kept being interrupted by spattering of giggles as they when through the dialogue and stumbled over the hard words.

It was actually great fun to listen to. Both the English and the giggling.

I kind of wanted say hello but I didn't. I didn't want to be the creepy American girl listening in on conversations. Even though I regularly try to listen in on random Bulgarian conversations. Somehow this doesn't feel like eavesdropping but listening in on a English conversation does. Anyhow, the girls were giggling too hard to pay much attention to me anyway.

That's when it stuck me. I need to have more fun learning Bulgarian. I want to laugh and giggle like that.

I am not really sure how to make that happen. But I am going to think about it. I really like giggling.
