oh no. it's starting.

last night on the motorbike.
yohanes: i'm lazy.
me: lazy to what?
yohanes: lazy to learn things.
me: wow. i don't think you can actually say that.
yohanes: why not? i really am lazy.
me: no, not that. i don't think you can say "lazy to".
yohanes: oh. sorry.
me: definitely not your fault. i'm the one who asked "lazy to what?".
yohanes: so what is better to say?
me: uhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
yohanes: i am lazy at learning?
me: uhhhhhhhhhhh..... maybe. that doesn't really sound right.
yohanes: so...?
me: maybe say i am lazy for learning. no. that's not right either.
yohanes: what about: for learning, i am too lazy.
me: complicated. i am such a bad native speaker for you to copy english from.
yohanes: oooooh, no, don't say that. (pats my knee reassuringly)
me: I FORGET HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH!!!
yohanes: sssshhhhhh.
