Spanish Lesson

"Buenas tardes," said the greeter. "Bienvenido a Wal-Mart."

"Buenas tardes," we replied in unison.

"Que producir necesitamos?" I asked Paul after we stepped inside the store.

"Como se dice brussel sprouts?" he replied.

We went looking for the answer.

"Coles de Bruselas!" we discovered together.

Que bueno!

After we had found the cebolla, limon y pez we were looking for, we went in search of one more item.

"Donde esta?" I started to ask, then stumbled.

"Como se dice salad dressing?" was my interim question.

We followed the signs and learned together.

"Ah! Aderezo de Ensalada," we read together.

Repita.

"Aderezo de Ensalada."

With that it was committed to memory.

Salad dressing in hand we headed for the checkout. The place was packed. So, with less than ten items we opted for the Pedido Rapido. Within minutes we had made our purchases and were headed out the door.

"Muchas gracias," said the greeter. "Buenas tardes."

Marveling at how quickly our high school equivalent Spanish has improved since our arrival in Mission, I asked Paul how we'd respond to anybody who asked where we learned to speak Spanish.

"That's easy," he replied. "Walmart!"
