Call Me Sponge Bob's Mum/Llamame Madre de Spong Bob

My daughter "Sponge Bob" is fluent in another language in Spanish which has now almost become her first language proud as I am for her I feel left out. When she comes up with jokes that when they are translated into English don't sound so funny has made me determined to work hard on my Spanish. Have also realised that some of the jokes involove a lot of rude words and am just loving that. Take for instance my favourite bookshop owner he says some incredible things that sometimes I have to write down and look up in the dictionary later. On my monthly prigrimage to the village market I popped into the bookshop with Sponge Bob and the proprietor started conversing with us wanting to know how we are surviving the cold up in the hill.

After such nice pleasantaries that wouldn't make a Pope blush he commented on how Sponge Bob was doing at school as he has bags of experience with teenager girls having two himself. As sponge bob is now into makeup he commented on this as nothing escapes him. Suddenly with a straight face he said watchout for the queue of boys coming to your house and they piss at the door. When Sponge Bob comes back from school will get the proper translation
This is Spongie
