Well, dinner with my family was quite an exchange...once again. However, tonight, they decided to invite all of the neighbors over who know a bit of English. It turned out to be quite funny, if not a bit overwhelming. However, I am picking up a few things. For instance, with the help of one particularly fluent neighbor, I figured out that they were conversing about the local gynocologist. They were debating whether he was gay (we had to straighten out the difference between "guy" and "gay") or if he simply had a Spanish lover (woman, I think). Grandma Rosa let me know that she would rather her daughters became prostitutes (prostitutas) than marry other women. She certainly is one to let her true feelings be known :-) Oh dear, I just smile, nod, laugh like a morone, and say "gratzie", when I can think of nothing more intelligent to say.....
