Ancora...sigh.

Mauro called me and I missed his call.

I sent him a message saying "c'e' sta faci?" which is a phrase in puglese dialect that he taught me. (He's from Puglia) In italian, the phrase is "che stai faccendo?" and it means "what are you doing?"

so I sent it and was waiting for a reply

Then I got an sms from MARIO that said, "ciao, amber. sono a casa di jason (I'm at Jason's house) che guardo la partita e tu come stai? (watching the soccer game but how are you?) E te che fai? (and what are you doing?)

I had sent it to the wrong person.

I had ONCE AGAIN completely mixed up Mario's name! 

So I called him laughing and told him what happened. I then taught him the english word for "dork." 

Because, as my brother later told me, teaching him an english word was probably the only graceful way to pull that off!
