No habla...spanglish?
So, as part of my summer gig, I have to call youth across the country and schedule interviews. Aside from catching people when they are home, this is not an exceedingly difficult task... Except for this one house, that I call, and the mother (or who ever it is that answers the phone) doesn't speak English. Now, I've called this lady a dozen times, and she always pretends like she doesn't know what I am talking about when I say her daughter's name. So, today, I decided I would try to use a little spanish, and maybe I could get somewhere. Ok, so spanish quickly turned to Spanglish, as I nervously rambled off an explanation of who I was, and why I was calling. Apparently she was quite amused by this, which I could tell by her muffled laughter. She was pretty damn pleased with herself as she got off the phone, laughing audibly, but she did tell me that her daughter was at work, and what time I should call back.
