Sleeping Lessons

The Bossman’s English skills are pretty good, with some peculiarities sprinkled in. He is taking adult swimming lessons. I asked him how they were going.

“I can put my face in the water, but I’m having trouble sleeping.”

“You’re having trouble what?”

“I can stand and put my face in the water, but I can’t sleep well.”

“Sleep?”

He makes a motion with his hand to indicate his body parallel with the bottom of the pool.

“Oh right…Yeah, once you relax a bit you’ll be able to sleep just fine.”
