Can you tell me how to say “wobbly bookcase” and “dust” (v.) in Spanish?
Gracias,
Mom

Someone has a Spanish housekeeper! Point your mom to one of those translation websites – I’m sure they would be of much use to her : )

LOL — this is so much funnier than it first appears. Poor mom. Once while I was traveling with my family, I got out of the shower to realize that my mom had spent about 10 minutes, unsuccessfully, trying to explain to the hotel staff that we didn’t need the room cleaned, just more towels. Good thing I know some Spanish.

What i like most about the mothers is that they always try the hardest to speak the language when on vacation. It’s always funny to heard them pronounce words as Disculpe and Por Favor
:p

I love it. My mom often asked me if I could “speak housekeeper” to the cleaning lady. Circa Clueless. Love it.
