The manager on the phone hesitated. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" he asked his newly-hired immigrant worker.
"I...rub the storm...balls?" the man said, coughing.
Before he could ask again, the manager heard a little commotion on the line, followed by a younger voice.
"I'm so sorry, my father has been learning English. He won't be making it into work today, he's got a cold."
"Oh! That's perfectly fine. But...what was that part about rubbing...storm balls...?"
The kid laughed. "Yes, we were working on popular English idioms this week. He was trying to say he's feeling under the weather."
