My children ARE teaching me Spanish

Everyone said our children would be teaching us Spanish, since kids learn so much quicker than adults, so here's a funny story. I (Angela) walked to the bakery with all 3 kids the other evening to get bread to go with supper. Here, everyone has iron gates around their houses/yards and most have some type of "guard" dog. As we were walking home, a dog started barking at us (not unusual) but it came right out through the iron bars. It was only a small poodle, but Ty reacted like it was a pit bull - screaming and climbing up me as fast as he could. This only excited the dog more. Sam was holding the bag of bread over his head and Georgia was clinging to my other leg. (I'm sure we were a gringo sight!). I start saying to the dog...go home, go home. And then I realized, this dog doesn't speak English. So we started walking, only to have the dog follow us for a long time. Every now and then I'd stop and snap at it and tell it to go home. Nothing worked. Finally Georgia looked at the dog and said "Adios doggie" and with that he turned around and trotted home!
