Miguel and Cynthia and I are sitting to eat and I go up to pick up one of the thin Peruvian napkins. I intend to use the thin napkin as toilet paper as I am thinking "no restaurant that is this cheap will have toilet paper."
Suddenly, the chinese-peruvian man who is in charge of the restaurant gets up to stop me from taking the napkin as he knows what I intend on using the napkin for.
What he wanted to say:
"Solo son para usa de la casa" - "those napkins are only for the restaurant's use"
What he said:
"Solo son para usa de la picchi" - "those napkins are only for pee-pee use."
Every person in the restaurant, a very small, but popular place, hear it and start to laugh.
Later, when Miguel asks the waitress for more napkins, she hands them to him, giggling.
