Another reason to learn Spanish

I live in Florida. Need I say more?

There’s a regular that frequents where I work. Well, he’s not really a ‘regular’, he’s been here twice, but still. Anyways, he just came by (yes, after 3 in the morning) and wrote down that he wanted to talk to me in 5 minutes. Of course, it’s been a long while since I’ve taken any Spanish lessons (okay, a long, long while–over 10 years) and basically, what I know in Spanish would get me beat up, kay? I lived in New Mexico for years and basically, I learned to cuss people out. Great for where I lived–bad for everyday conversations.

This is how little I remember of my Spanish lessons: It took me 10 minutes to get “hablar con un usted” translated. The bad thing? I knew what it meant. I just had a complete brain glitch. But, come on, it’s after 3 in the morning, those are acceptable, right?

And for the record, I’m not talking to anyone at 3:30 in the morning when they’re wearing only boxers and when I don’t know them. Sorry, but no.

    So, say Tom Welling came in at 3am wearing only boxers….. Yeah, you’re turning him away. . . .uh-huh…. I believe that.

    You do have a point. That I wouldn’t. But only him. And maybe Jensen Ackles. Or Victor Webster. Or…shoot.
