On August 22nd, 2005 I was moving into the dorms at Michigan State. While I was checking in to get my room key my mom overheard the father and son in front of us speaking Spanish. She made a comment that I should get to know him (little did she know ha!) and also that he had a cute butt...I can't blame her I guess since we were behind him that was all she had to go on:)
Later that day that young man offered to help bring up my things including wood for a loft with my brother. My mom... again, being the out-going person she is, proceeded to try to explain what a loft was to these two men,.... I later found out that the conversation sounded something like the adults in a Charlie Brown episode to Roberto and his dad. They said to each other in Spanish: "Do you know what she is saying?" "No, you?" "No" "just smile and nod":).
I didn't really speak to Roberto much since I was all sweaty and in need of a shower... I was avoiding meeting new people. I did ask him where he was living and he was on the other side of the hall. I was standing there when my mom mentioned he should live on my side since it was the "la casa" floor, an all Spanish speaking floor. He looked at her with a "I wanna say something but don't have the words look" and then said, "Spanish, I know". We all cracked up. Even then I could tell he was a funny guy.
the third time is a charm- - I have been attempting to comment on the blog post concerning the "cute butt". I do not remember actually making this comment. It would not surprise me if I had though. There are times when my mouth filter is shutdown and I do admire cute buttocks. :)
