Good morning. Welcome to show 36. My friend, what happened to your face? Oh no. Hello. I cut my face when shaving, and I burned myself with coffee.
Oh no. You really hurt yourself today. Yes, I did. It's not a good morning for me.
I can see that. I feel like I am fighting the world. And the world is winning. It looks like that. I look like I was in a boxing fight. But my opponent was the bathroom sink.
I am so sorry. You look like a soldier who lost a fight with the mirror. That's a good way to say it. But even with your pain and the bandages on your chin, you used perfect grammar.
Did I? I'm just trying to stay awake. It hurts when I smile. I understand. You used two important words. You said, 'I cut myself.' And then you said, 'I burned myself.' Yes. Myself.
