Jaime and I have figured out that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re just about the same person. I am her when she was my age. She did gymnastics till around the same age, we have similar backgrounds of Quakerness, care about many of the same things, think the same about many of the problems of life, etc. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fascinating. I love being about to talk to her.<\/p>\n
Last night she came into the room and she said \u00c2\u00aeWell, I think Gladys just said \u00c2\u00aeno more parasites now that we have the water filter\u00c2\u00ae. I thought she was always using one\u00c2\u00ae. I did too. But the way she said it made me laugh so hard I cried.<\/p>\n
I saw a huge iguana yesterday (and got a photo of it!)and told Jaime about it and then wanted to tell Carlos. So, I said \u00c2\u00aeCARLOS! Vi un… qu\u00c3\u02c6 es? C\u00c3\u203amo se dice este?\u00c2\u00ae And acted like an iguana. Or my idea of an iguana. I put my hands out with my fingers moving a little and opened my eyes wide and stuck my tongue in and out and looked over at Carlos. He looked a) totally confused and b) totally scared. Jaime was cracking up. We laughed and cried about it for about 5 minutes and then she mimicked me and said \u00c2\u00aeWhat am I? OH RIGHT! A crazy ass girl on a wall!\u00c2\u00ae and we cried some more. \u00c2\u00aeCarlos, you need to understand that when you spend all day trying to speak another language, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have fun. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re just having fun in our own language!\u00c2\u00ae said Jaime (in spanish). It was classic.<\/p>\n
