Two jokes

I forgot something really funny that happened today.  Hope it translates into English.  In Honduras there are 2 phone companies.  One is Tigo, the other is called Claro.  There are huge billboards all over advertising for Claro that say, "Claro que si."

"Claro que si" translates in English to "For sure" or "Of course" or "By all means" - you get what I am trying to say.

So today a girl asks Marlin if she can use Marlin's phone.  Most people have two phones, or at least two chips - one for Claro and one for Tigo because the calls are usually free if you call another person within the same company.  Before she dials the number, the girl asks Marlin if Marlin has Tigo (because she is calling someone with Tigo).  Marlin answers, "Claro."

The girl and I look at each other.  We are obviously thinking the same thing.  Does Marlin have Claro?  Or is she saying "Sure" that she has Tigo?  We cracked up laughing.

The girl asked, "Claro que si?" or "You have Claro?  Marlin still says "Claro" and we just look at each other again.  Finally through my laughing out burst I ask if she has Claro or Tigo.  She looks at us like we are dumb and says very simply "Tigo".

I hope someone found that funny.  It sure was funny to me.

Another funny thing that happened was that yesterday a rumor started that I had sold my car.  I don't know why that rumor started.  One of the girls at the Breakfast Program told me she was really sad that I sold my car because it matches me really well - my car and I are both pale.

I guess I can see where she was coming from.  Sometimes kids say the funniest things.  And Marlin too.

Jairo, Belinda, Anna, Jacky and I all think Marlin is having a baby boy.  Don Juan thinks it's a girl.  Marlin said she doesn't know.  Her tummy is getting really big!  I am sad I will miss out monthly photo on the 22nd of this month.  Marlin told Lourdes yesterday that she is thinking of going to a different Dr for her ultrasound because where she usually goes they only check to see if the baby is healthy and they get mad if you ask if it is a boy or a girl.  I'm more and more sure it is a boy.  But we'll see.  How sad that the ultrasound people won't tell you if they see a boy or girl!
