Cursing in dos languages :)

Good story for you. So my friend Jen was talking in Spanish to my team teacher the other day. She was trying to tell Victoria that her son was a little scared to ask to go to the bathroom in Spanish class. To say this, you would say: "El tiene miedo en su clase..." which means "he has fear in your class." Rather than saying that, Jen said, "El tiene mierda en su clase..." which directly translates "he has sh*t in your class." So basically Victoria thought Jen was really mad because her son had sh*t in her class. LOL Pardon my language, but it is just so funny. Victoria was like, "never say that word." So I came home and told my family and they were cracking up. They were asking me about the curse word and how it was different from "sheet" in English. To them, it's very difficult because there is no short "i" sound in spanish, so both words sound the same when they say it. (You may remember my past mishaps with this term in Spanish). Anyway, so my Tico mom keeps trying to say it correctly but it never comes out right so she's walking around the house saying, "There is a sh*t on my bed." or "Please give me that sh*t to make copies of it." I was dying laughing. Everyone was cracking up. So probably not appropriate language for my missionary blog update...but it's life...and really funny. That's all for now. Please pray for me, I am the chaperone of our school's senior trip to the beach this weekend. I'm a little nervous, but more than anything I want God to work in their hearts! Plus for safety, wisdom on my part, and smart, appropriate behavior on the students' part. Oh God help us all!
