Miscommunication

When I 1st met my husband he was flaco! (skinny)  After years of my good cooking he has put on some weight.  He's still kind of flaco in my book, but let's just say I have something to hold on to now.

So after eating a filling dinner the other night, hubby and I were standing in the kitchen.
He sat on the window sill and pulled me in for a good hug!
I said, "Be careful! Don't break the window sill!"
He replied, "Ok ballena ( spanish for whale)"
I shouted, "WHAT?"
He quickly defended his self, "You just called me a SEAL (.... and started to bark and clap his hands)
I said, "I didn't call you a seal!  I said don't break the window sill..... as in... where you are sitting!"
Hubby, "oops! sorry!"
