Episode notes
Oregano Incident
- Martin found humor in his wife's reaction to his oregano request.
- She found it funny because in Italian, "origano" (oregano) sounds similar to "organo" (organ).
Toilet Water
- Aurora's husband asked for "toilet water" instead of "tap water" in Italian.
- He confused "gabinetto" (toilet) with "rubinetto" (tap), causing Aurora much amusement.
Easy Mum
- Martin accidentally told someone in Italian that their "mum is easy" after having a baby.
- He meant to say "happy" ("felice") but used "facile" (easy) instead.
