Guilty, guilty, guilty! :)
I'm afraid to say anything....I think this is some sort of trick you planned to make me look stupid so that Charles can sabotage my snowfort while I'm in my self pity! >:(
HA! I can relate!
Can you translate for those of us non-Spanish language learners? It looks interesting!
Jungle Mom, I hope I'm leaving this in the right place here. After reading your daughter's post, I will try hard to never complain about modern inconveniences again, And a Merry and blessed Christmas to all of you, too.
si yo!
Thanks for translating! It is so true!
That reminds me of gringos reacting to Latin American conceptions of time. Many moons ago a co-worker composed something along along these lines.
ahora mismo ( right now): if your're lucky, in an hour or two.
ahora (now) : if you’re lucky, today.
ahorita (diminutive forms follow): if you’re lucky, next week.
ahoritita: if you’re lucky, next year.
ahorititita: when pigs fly.
