First Day in Spanish Class

Andy and I have been in our Spanish classes for 4 days now. On my first day I thought my teacher asked me (in Spanish of course) if I had any brothers or sisters. I replied, Yes! I have a younger sister and a brother-in-law. She looked at me with a confused look and replied, really? But you are so young? And your sister must have been very young to get married!

I was thinking that it was maybe a nice compliment, that she thought I looked younger than 29, but I also didn´t see why she thought it was so funny that I had a married sister.

Then I realized my mistake.

Hija and hermana got mixed up somewhere in my translation, and I had told her I had a daughter that was married.

Good times.

Perhaps we can throw you a baby shower when you return? I am being very entertained by your adventures. I hope they're as fun for you!
