Russian man with silver teeth: grumbles something in heavy accented Hebrew (or maybe it was Russian?) and points to a package of frozen dough
Me: “Slicha?”
Russian man with silver teeth: grumbles something else in Hebrew, pointing to the price
Me: looking confused
Russian man with silver teeth: smiles big, “Aaah…. Priveyet, russian russian russian russian russian…”
Me: smiles back, “Lo yoda’at…”
Russian man with silver teeth: now he’s looking confused, grumbles again in Russian accented Hebrew
Me: explains what he needed to know in American accented Hebrew; unfortunately for him, the price is not to his liking.
Russian man with silver teeth: walks away grumbling, “Nyet! Nyet! Nyet!”
And there we have it, once again. Russians assume I am Russian. It has happened probably a dozen times now. If only I could understand what that means…
