Did You Say Bang?

"La primer metida de pata". For those of you that are not bilingual this is the story of my first snafu of the year last year. My niece started a family newsletter four years ago to be given out on Christmas Day and this story was part of that newsletter, therefore I could not published it before. Anyway here's the story as I remember it a year later.

It was payday weekend for Jr. and Michelle so they decided to go to the outlet stores in Casa Grande and spend some of their hard earned cash. Diego (my grandson) loved to watch the "Dora The Explorer" cartoons and as you may imagine some of his Christmas presents for that year were Dora related. So while shopping, Michelle and Junior found this inflatable Dora toy and bought it for him. As soon as Junior came home he blew it up and gave it to him, immediately Diego started playing with it.

Diego also had an inflatable hammer, and he was constantly banging it against everything in his path. So Diego tought he could do the same with Dora. Needless to say poor Dora's strenght gave up in a matter of minutes and that was the end of Dora the inflatable toy.

The following day "mi chica" treated the whole family (all nine of us) to go and have brunch at Cracker Barrel and some one brought up the conversation of the Dora toy. Because I saw how he punctured it I said outloud and let me stress this, I said this very innocently. "Oh yes, Diego was banging Dora all over the house", everyone started laughing and people sitting next to us kindda looked my way. It took me a few seconds to realize that my innocent statement fell into some very dirty minds. The guys laughed for the next ten minutes straight. I don't usually blush but that one Sunday morning I did.

True Story!
