"I thought it was some cultural thing..." - Joakim

In the morning I went with Yonseili to SUKASA to ask about her computer because it was giving her trouble again. We were there for a while and weren't really able to get anywhere...

The rest of the afternoon was 'chill'... I know I use that word a lot but it simply means nothing out of the ordinary happened.  I did go with Joakim to MyBike to put air into one of Juan Jose's little basketballs so we could play at the park for a while.  We wanted Juan Jose to go but since he's on a tight schedule he really couldn't join us.  So Joakim is very competitive.  Every time he missed he would say the 'f' word or say 'dammit' and would really try to shoot the ball correctly.  Anywho I was happy to hear Yonseili scream my name as she was walking by the park on her way home from school.  She said she was going to go get pinchos from around the corner.  The pinchos place was closed but Yonseili still stopped by a nearby store and bought a coke.

Tonight I helped Joakim out with his Spanish homework.  He needed to practice his irregular verbs and I must say he is very good.  When we went over the "Caber" verb I got a huge laugh.  You see, what I was doing is saying a verb, for example Caber, and when I would say "yo, tu, el, nosotros, ustedes" he would have to say "quepo, cabes, cabe, cabemos, caben."  Well, when he gave me the answer to "yo" instead of saying "quepo" he said "cago."  He said it with such assurance that it was too funny and I burst out laughing.  He then thought about it and realized what he said.  I laughed too much, but that wasn't the funniest part of the day.

Highlight of the day: During dinner I put on rancheras so that Joaquin could listen to them.  I introduced him to Mana already and he seems to like, I was curious to see what he thought about the 'real' Mexican music.  So as we were eating and listening to the music Yonseili knocked on the door.  At that very moment I had just begun to tap my fingers on the table to go along with the beat of the song that was on.  I could see from the corner of my eye that Joaquin was a bit confused and I just kept going to the beat.  When Adriana opened the door to let Yonseili in he asked me why I was doing that and I told him why.  I burst out laughing the second he told me he though it was some kind of cultural thing to bang the fingers on the table when someone was coming over.  LOL!  All I could say is that I wish he would have done it so that I could get a bigger kick out of it.  I am just glad he has a good sense of humor.
