Mexicans have the funniest sayings, I think. This is an actual conversation that took place in our house this afternoon.
Jesus: "Mmmmm, something smells good."
Me: "Cooking some sausage for the bean soup."
J: "I bet Daniel will really eat it up tonight." [a joke, because Daniel is a picky eater.]
Me: "Well, I want him to keep trying, because I think he'll eventually like it, if he tastes it enough."
J: "And I bet you believe in saints that can pee."
(Obviously a reference to some of his relatives who believe their saints eat the food set out before their shrines on holidays, etc.)
Some other gems:
When everything seems to be going wrong, "All that's left is for a dog to pee on us."
If I have to ask him to repeat himself several times (like if he mumbles, or there is a lot of background noise), after about two times, he goes, "I said, THE DEAF PEOPLE'S MASS IS ON FRIDAY!"
They sound so much better in Spanish!!
