One of the joys of being in Mexico is NOT speaking the language and therefore not overhearing inane conversations. I'm at Rubio's at the Carlsbad Mall listening to a bunch of dumb white yuppies chatter on about nothing. At least if they were speaking Spanish I could imagine they were discussing something important. Can a white person be racist against white people? Is that possible? I've been here for three hours and these are words I HAVEN'T heard: Iraq, bankruptcy,General Motors, Obama, missing airplane...
Instead we get this...
"Daddy said, "don't get them a treat cause they haven't been good."
"How much is the massage?"
"We just went home and cooked and then left. It was no big deal. I don't know why he got all upset."
"hello, ok...uh, huh, ok....yeah, yeah...ok so,,,oh you mean the tires.? ok....i take that route everyday..."
