I trade English lessons for Spanish lessons with a beautiful, slender blonde from Argentina. We meet 2-3 times a week at her and her husband's auto sales lot. He is quite large, handsome, barrel chested, and in love with his wife. He works in the lot with customers while she and I sit in the office and drill each other.
What? Oh, grow up.
She has a tendency to reach out and touch my thigh when she wants to emphasize a point or seek clarification of a point of grammar. I suppose it's some Argentine custom, but it's not one of mine, and so I shudder when she does that for a couple of reasons which everyone here is too immature to understand or hear without giggling obnoxiously. But you want more, I detect, so try this:
Today I was teaching her about various articles of clothing:
"What is this?" ask I.
"Thees eez a pants," she answers, and so on.
We covered as much of the clothing vocabulary area as I felt comfortable with: shoes, pants [which itself was risky enough to me], shirt, belt [watch out!], overcoat, and jacket. I am ready to move on to weather terminology when lacquered nails land on my thigh and she says this in spanish:
"But how do you say 'brassiere' in English?" Understand that she had the door closed "to keep out the noise" and so I sat frozen in terror waiting for husband to walk through the door with his ham arms and say "so what are you all learning about now?"
I tried to pretend I didn't hear, and so she REPEATS the question! Sweating heavily, I mutter something about "I think it's the same word. But today it is cold and windy, is it not?"
I quivered and sweated as we moved on from there to ordering in a resturant. I think. I was so unnerved that the rest of the lesson became a blur. I made it out of there and rushed to the bosom of home and hearth. I am worried about next week's lesson.
