The Old New Thing : If somebody speaks a language I'm not expecting, sometimes I don't understand it, even though I should - http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewt...
"The languages I learned as a child are kept in one part of my brain, and the languages I acquired as an adult go into another part. When people speak to me in a language I acquired as an adult, I don't even understand them until I first figure out what language they're using. On the other hand, the languages I acquired as a child I can understand immediately."

"Old “Doc” Plume, the local hardware store owner, who was known for his miraculous cures for arthritis, had a long line of “patients” waiting outside the door when a little old lady, completely bent over, shuffled in slowly, leaning on her cane. When her turn came, she went into the back room of the store and, amazingly, emerged within half an hour, walking completely erect with her head held high. A woman waiting in the line said, “It’s a miracle! You walked in bent in half and now you’re walking erect. What did Doc do?” She answered, “He gave me a longer cane.”"
