El Burro Sabe Mas Que Tu, Part 2
(I am in fifth grade. Our Spanish teacher is gone for a few weeks to get married. Our substitute doesn’t know any Spanish, and is at a loss for how to deal with us.)
Substitute: “Ho-lah class-ay, I’m substituting for sen-nor-ita Qway-suh-dilly.”
Class: “Quesada.”
Substitute: “What?”
Class: “That’s her name. Where is she?”
Substitute: “Man, they don’t tell me who I’m subbing for. Are there any worksheets or something you kids can be doing?”
Class: “No.”
(In the end, the substitute found a VHS of ‘The Lion King’ in Spanish with Spanish subtitles for us to watch, the whole time mumbling the English lyrics to himself at the back of the room.)
