I'm learning Swedish!

The following story has to be one of my favorite moments of learning Swedish so far. 

Scene: Grocery store checkout. I have picked up some bread and placed it in a brown bag (that's what they do here).

Clerk: (Picks up brown bag and asks in Swedish): "What's in here?" 

Me: (Without much thought and in English): "Oh it's bread." 

Clerk and I both have puzzled looks on our faces. 

Me (to clear confusion): "Wow, I can't believe I understood you!" 

Clerk: "Oh you don't speak Swedish?" 

Me: (Brilliant Sherlock! Don't you think I would have spoken in Swedish if I knew any?) "No, I just started learning Swedish, and I can't believe I understood you! This is so exciting!"

Clerk: (starts laughing). "Yes, that's great!"

Indeed it is...  :)
