I was on a sales call once when my neighbor's kid burst into my house and started shouting in Bengali.

I managed to hit the phone's mute button while furiously gesturing at him to be quiet.

Because I don't speak Bengali, I had no idea what he wanted. I had no idea how he got into my house either. He stopped shouting, looked at me and scampered out the front door.

Turns out he was looking for his sister, who was playing with my kids, who I had banished from the house for being too loud.
