Scenes from my day
My mother and I are having lunch at Macaroni Grill, which actually has decent food despite being a chain. There’s some untranslated Italian on the menu.
Mom: Here, read this – you know Spanish.
Me: That’s not Spanish, that’s Italian.
Mom: Well, it’s pretty much the same thing.
Me (laughing): No, it’s not!
Mom (trying to turn the tables): …Anyway, I forgot – you don’t really know Spanish at all, do you?
It is pretty much the same thing.
