Spanglish

3 Jul

Two of the gals I work with, Natalie and Marigold,  weren’t feeling so great when they came into work today. They both had a sore throat, headache and other cold-like symptoms. Marigold, who hails from Mexico, has a thick accent and often fumbles with English words and phrases. Case in point, earlier today:

Natalie: I’m really not feeling well.
Marigold: Me either. I hope we don’t have the HIV.
{silence}

In between bursts of laughter, Natalie tried explaining that she doesn’t have neither HIV or H1N1.
