I could probably amuse you endless with all the cute things my wife might say due to the differences in the languages she speaks . Though Spanish is her native tongue her English is in fact pretty darn good . That doesn’t mean however that her blue books are not referred to as ….“books blue” for instance.
My Fruit of the Looms are , as another instance, referred to as Fruit of Balloons and have been for some twenty years. Truth be told, the phrase Fruit of Balloons has always amused me to the point where I just couldn’t bring myself to correct her. Also I’m often told …….
“ Shut you mouse “ and I do….though it is sometimes difficult to laugh with my mouse shut. Its also difficult to drink a tea she brews with my mouse shut . Jamaican Flower Tea….or Hibiscus Tea. Or as she tends to pronounce it….hot biscuits tea.
“ Shut you mouse and drink your hot biscuits tea “ is simply a normal part of my abnormal life.
She’s away for the holidays right now with her family and as my birthday coincides with Christmas she called to wish me the best of both yesterday. I was working and so missed the call but was delighted to listen to the message on my lunch break….multiple times.
“ Ola Papito…. I want to weesh you Happy Christmas and Merry Birday ………I love you too much .” is what she said.
Now I may not get to have my wife love me “very” much like a lot of you guys…….but, on the other hand, …. I have absolutely no problem with getting loved “too” much either.
