I call my nephew, Ryan, "my little chuleta de cerdo" (pork chop). Last week I went on a walk with my family, and little Ryan was strapped in to a carrier on my dad's back. Ryan was wearing an infant-sized baseball cap positioned at a jaunty angle and striped pants that looked like they were inspired by a man's Victorian-era swimsuit. As I admired his outfit I composed a song that I sang to him over and over for the rest of the day.
Ryan's Song
Me gusta mi sombrero,
Me gusta mis pantalones.
Me gusta todo febrero,
Me gusta camarones.
Translation:
I like my hat,
I like my pants.
I like all of February,
I like shrimp.

i totally have it stuck in my head now, lol.... i wish we had taken a pic to commemorate the moment
in spanish class, which i cheated my way through (this was high school), we didn''t like a boy named ed, so we would work "ed es muy sucio" into every single project we did. this was just me and 3 of my friends. ed didn't care, though, and went on to be my best friend's boyfriend for like, 8 years.
also, i used to like to say pepito penguino.
i hate spanish, though.
