Oops (again)
I could probably title most of the entries "oops" as i will continue to leave a trail of misunderstanding in my wake. This one revolves around the discovery of my ipod by Maria, the 7 year old in my house. I was listening to some music while doing some homework when she came in my room and wanted to listen as well. Realizing that she wouldnt understand what I was listening to, I told her I had some Spanish music. Idiotically, I did not go for my Spanish folk music, but somehow found myself handing her the Orishas, Cuban hip hop. Now, I thought that i understood some of the lyrics, but apparently, I was wrong. As soon as Maria put the earphones to her ears she let out a gasp, a giggle and put her hand to her mouth in embarassment. I can only imagine what the lyrics were, and it may be months before I know, especially since I dont even know which song she was listening to, but I quickly recovered the earphones and switched the song to Silvio Rodriguez, another singer whos lyrics i cant completely translate. But รก song with the words three sisters in the title cant be that inappropriate for a seven year old. I hope. The ipod is now securely hidden away when i leave the house. Im hoping the incident can be one of me and marias little secrets...
