I've spent the better part of the last couple days with the Mexican Mafia. Leah and I have aquainted ourselves with the best English speaking Mexican. He is 27 years old. While picking bones out of salmon fillets, he commented, "No broken penises."
Bewildered by what he said, I responded, "Penises?"
He replied, "Yes, penises."
Leah and I began giggling, and I continued, "Penises?"
Finally, the only other American explained what a "penis" was to Pedro. He laughed and said, "No espinas." -Espinas is Spanish for spines or bones.
This same Pedro contines to say, "Bonita, bonita," to Leah and I. Also, he told me I have nice skin and pretty eyes. And he asked Leah to marry him.
Pedro told Leah and I that he has no girlfriend or wife or family. Upon talking to those who know Pedro better, we found out that he has a wife and two kids in Mexico and a girlfriend in Bellingham, Washington.
