Missing all the fun

Several times recently Debbie has related to me her adventures in communicating with Spanish-speakers. She has spoken to the guard at church multiple times and even managed to get information from the garbage man about what days he comes. She is quite aware of her linguistic limitations and very self-effacing when relating these events to me, willingly including details of her failure. I never fail both to be amazed by her results and get a chuckle out of the proceedings. The only thing I regret is that I never get to see these verbal forays in person!
