Pinch a gringo
Ok now
Some of you are reading this because you are thinking,"Jeez this woman cant spell in Spanish and English.
Some of you are reading this because you are a gringo and you think it might be about you.
Some think that JR is back
Some are hoping he isnt
This is actually a true story
Last night mi suegra(my mother in law) my esposo(my husband) y yo(Judy) went into San Jose for dinner. When we arrived at the restaurant, my husband
pulled out the chair for his mother, then for me and than he sat down...............
Then he stood straight up with a yell.
All the waiters, the owner and the host came running to see what had happened. My husband moved his chair into the light so everyone could see that
just left of the center of the chair was a large split in the wood(my husband dresses left) and when he sat down the boards on either side got him
good.
I looked up at them all and said pinch a gringo. They all laughed probably not sure if they should. The host explained what pinch meant in Spanish
and they all laughed again this time not so timidly.

Great fast thinking play on words...I always think up those things long afterward, and wish I had said it at the time!
