Si Senor. Si Senor. Es mi son.

If Spanish is a gentle sonata floating around in my head, then Danish is a garbled whisper of mumbo-jumbo. Not only do *I* not have the will to learn Danish, but my brain is dead set against it.

Really, the only people I speak any kind of Danish to are the grocery checkout people. And they only ask one thing - For the amount? Its pronounced "por balloo-ee-bill" in Danish and muttered at the speed of lightning- but don't even ask me how its spelled. And, even when anticipating this question, the only thing that my mouth can verbalize is - Si.

See, my brain realizes that another language is being heard, yet it just can't seem to shake the Spanish.

Como no?

this is soooo funny.
and then, "es mi son" not "es mi hijo"
You're not quite all there, but you already knew that.
