Lost in Translation

Even after all this time, there are some words that Ismael just doesn’t pronounce correctly.  Pizza sounds like, “peegza.”  Gift is “jeeeft.”

Today -

Ismael:  (noticing that we have no juice for Adam)  “I’m going to CVS to get some jew…”

Me:  “Really?  You think?”

And out the door he went.  Thank God he came home with grape juice.
