Greek is the most spoken language in the world

I was proud of myself for this one:

Son: "Dad, what is Greece?"

Me: "A country in the Mediterranean. They speak Greek there, it's the most spoken language in the world"

Wife: "what? No it's not, that's Chinese"

Me: "Yeah, that's Greek to me"

Just saw my son crying because he doesn't know what a homophone is.

To comfort him I sat next to him, patted his back and said, "They're, their, there..."

A pair of Grandpa's favorites

When teaching us spelling that you didn't pronounce the last B in Bomb. "why not Grandpa?" "It's silent, like the silent P in swimming." He got me and my younger sisters in turn.

also, he spoke fluent French and German and would claim that "I can speak every language except Greek"

"Say something in Russian."

"That's Greek to me"

I can speak every language except Greek.

Really, ask me to translate any sentence into any language (except Greek). Try me!
