The Tramp

22 comments
Yesterday my hubby was outside working in the yard.  He came inside with an irritated look on his face and says...

"I need a TRAMP!"

Me, "What? You need a what???"
Hubby, "a TRAMP.... for the back yard!"
Me, "You need a TRAMP for the back yard?" (I'm still confused at this point)
Hubby,  "Yes. If I can't find one I'll just make one!  That damn squirrel is eating all of the bird seed!"
Me, "Ohhhhh....  okay."

I continued folding clothes while giggling on the inside.
It all made sense now...

In Spanish,  the word for "TRAP" is pronounced  "la TRAMPA!"

Mexican-isms continued

This evening we went out to dinner.  On our way home, my husband and I were talking.  All of a sudden in mid conversation, The Mexican says, "You know how I roll..."
My eyes got really big and I looked at him all crazy.  I was in a little bit of shock.  Where in the world did he pick that up?  I felt a strong urge to laugh, but didn't!  He said it perfectly.

We continued talking.  I was letting loose and venting up a storm.  I proceeded sharing my thoughts about work politics etc.  Once again The Mexican surprised me by nodding his head and saying, "True dat.."
This time I couldn't help my self and let out a small giggle.  Who has he been talking to?  Is he picking this up from the guys at work?

Once home, my hubby was showing me a website he's been working on.  I was complimenting him on how awesome it looked and what a great concept it was.  To which his reply was, "It's a bomb!"  I couldn't help myself.  I busted out laughing.  I almost fell out of my chair and onto the floor.  He was looking at me like 'what?".  I blurted out, "You mean,... It's the bomb!"

I needed that laugh!  I'm sure I'd be providing him with the same humor if we were in Mexico and I was repeating slang I had heard.  He was due for a Mexican-ism!
